Join Santa’s Team as a Christmas Elf at Drumlanrig Castle!

Here at Drumlanrig Castle we’re gearing up for a magical Christmas, with a range of festive activities and events planned for our visitors.

We’re looking for enthusiastic and positive individuals to give a festive welcome to visitors at our enchanting Christmas Grotto in the stunning grounds of Drumlanrig Castle. As one of Santa’s trusted helpers, you will guide children and parents to Santa’s Grotto, monitor bookings, and make sure Santa has everything he needs – like children’s names and presents – to keep things running smoothly.

This opportunity would suit someone with an approachable, fun and warm personality, who is confident engaging with children and adults alike. No experience is required, although some customer-facing or childcare experience would be a bonus.

This is a seasonal role working Friday to Sunday from 5th to 21st December, 9am to 5pm each day.

Interested? To apply, please send your CV and a covering letter to our recruitment team at recruitment@buccleuch.com.
