WHAT SORT OF JOBS ARE THERE AT THORPE PARK?

Many people think of a theme park and assume it’s just made up of people that operate rides. That couldn’t be further from the truth. There are so many different types of jobs found in a theme park.

So what sort of jobs can you get at a theme park? Obviously, we need people to operate our fab rides

We have a range of roles in our operational teams. These departments are on the ground and at the forefront of providing amazing experiences for our guests.

Our Food and Beverage team work across a range of different areas of the park offering a huge range of food and drink to satisfy every taste and need. If you’re a bit of a foodie and enjoy an exciting environment that will keep you on your toes, this is the team for you!

Working in this department is so much more than flipping burgers! Members of this team can enjoy a wide arrange of opportunities across the resort from preparing fresh, delicious food to working in a customer facing role putting smiles on faces.

Grabbing some lunch or a drink is the perfect time to ask a question about the resort, so you’ll need to be a people person who is prepared to learn the Resort like the back of their hand. You’ll become a walking, talking map!

SITE PRESENTATIONS

Our Site Presentations team is responsible for the overall cleanliness of Thorpe Park Resort, ensuring that the park is looking presentable and welcoming to our guests at all times.

Our guests love interacting with our site cleaning team so you must be committed to ensuring your Resort knowledge is up to date, and think of innovative ways to ensure you interactions are memorable and driving a high standard of guest experience.

You’ll be working outside so must be enthusiastic, have great attention to detail and wish to work as part of a wider team to ensure our Resort has first class cleanliness standards, whatever the weather!

Every department here at Thorpe Park Resort focuses on the safety of our guests (and your colleagues) as a number 1 priority. Each role will undertake department specific Health & Safety training, alongside wider Thorpe Park Resort training.
