WHEN WE'RE BUSY AND HOW TO APPLY...
When you provide a busy entertainment and leisure service many job opportunities arise in front-line customer facing roles with our attractions, image makers, catering, entertainment and cashiers departments.
We're busy when Kiwis have down time - so working with us means school holidays, weekends, and sometimes nights. We often need to recruit to increase staff levels for school holiday periods.
We typically begin to look at CVs and application forms for these roles approximately 7 weeks before a school holiday period so this is a good time to submit an application.
Unfortunately applying two weeks before a holiday period is usually too late as we will already have completed interviews and successful applicants will be about to start their training.
It is always worthwhile applying. But please note we might not respond to you immediately, and we may approach you for the following school holiday period. If you wish to apply, please use our online form
For some roles we also post ads on job sites such as SEEK.
