By: Rachael, redwigwam
Are you looking for an ongoing opportunity this summer?
Whether you’re on a break from Uni, you’ve just finished school or you’re looking for a new adventure – working at a Holiday Park is definitely something to consider.
At redwigwam, we’ve put together a list of benefits of working at a Holiday Park, and how you can find one of these roles and secure a place for the summer, from the comfort of your own home.
It’s great if you’re a student
The summers are amazing, and it gives students a well-deserved break as they go back home to spend time with their family & old school friends.
But one thing that runs dry, is that student loan! If students could get a mid-summer loan that would be the dream, but whilst they’re waiting for that end of summer payment in September (when all the festivals and events are over), they, or you if you’re a student need something to keep them going.
Holiday Park work is great for this, especially when working through an agency. Use this as an income topper and receive fast pay and holiday pay for the days you’re going to be living it up at a festival or any other event!
Fast pay = Fun Summer
Have a few days off to go on holiday? To a festival? A cheeky trip to the pub with your pals? Working a summer job means you’ll receive a constant stream of income.
The great thing about it is there will always be work through the holiday season, so you can pick up as many shifts as you like to help you enjoy life – which is perfect now things are getting back to normal.
At redwigwam you can choose between Daily / Weekly and Monthly pay. This means lots of Pay Days are available, and who doesn't like the sound of that?
Make friends for life
Working at a Holiday Park is a fun role not many people can say they’ve experienced. Being in one big team, making sure the guests have an amazing summer, is a great teambuilding experience.
You’ll work with them through events, help them achieve their targets and even go out with them to unwind after work. They’ll soon become great friends of yours and the role will feel a little less like a job and a lot more fun!
Supercharge your CV
Do you have gaps in your CV? This role could be perfect to supercharge it with lots of things you’ve learned over the summer.
Employers across a wide variety of sectors love it when candidates have worked in customer-facing roles, as they can take what they’ve learned and apply it to almost every job out there.
You could add skills such as:
- Team building
- Time management
- Organisation
- Problem-solving
- Attention-to-detail
