2013 Recruitment Events

Wow!  What a turnout we had at the two recruitment events.  We would like to say a huge 'Thank you' to all of you who braved the freezing conditions and queued for hours to be in with the chance of winning an interview.  Good luck to everyone, and thank you for showing amazing patience.  We were overwhelmed with the numbers of people who chose to attend the Wednesday event, and we greatly appreciated your good spirits and patience while in the queue.

We received over 450 potential applicants through the doors over the two recruitment events, to fill 100 vacancies, so fingers crossed for you all.  If you do not hear from a Manager within the next week then unfortunately you have not been successful, but please keep an eye on this page where future vacancies will be advertised throughout the Season and into the Winter.

Volunteers Needed for Wicksteed Park

Wicksteed Park, which is owned by the Wicksteed Trust, needs people to help maintain its status as a Grade II English Heritage Listed Park & Garden.

Volunteers are being sought to help with just about every aspect of running the Park including: car parking; gardening; general maintenance; publicity; waterways management, and many more.

Additionally there are a number of volunteer positions such as Playground Supervisors, daffodil sales (for Charity), duck food sales (to raise money for the upkeep of the aviary) and FOH stewards to show guests to their seats in the new Pavilion 50’s & 60’s daytime Show, ‘Rockin' Around the Clock’.

Park Management will be delighted to hear from people with any time to spare with either a specific skill or simply a desire to just help out at this much loved historic Park.

If you have a few hours to spare or are interested in donating your skills to the Park then please contact Charlotte Widgery (Community Link Manager) on 01536 512475 for more details, or email charlotte@wicksteedpark.co.uk.
