Jobs

3rd April – 12th April

What we do? With 1,000 acres of history, walks, wellness, shopping, food and adventure, all in a beautiful setting just a few miles from Edinburgh, Dalkeith Country Park is enjoyed and valued by locals and visitors from afar. Whether in search of adventure, play, thrills, food, shopping or restoration, we have something for all. This Easter we have egg citing Easter Activities planned where adventurers can enjoy a fun filled scavenger hunt and get the opportunity to meet our much loved Bunny and other important Easter characters!

The role? As Easter Mascot, you will don our delightful giant carrot costume to help us deliver our Easter activities at Fort Douglas Adventure Playground. Bringing our Easter celebrations to life, you will interact with families and young visitors, keeping them engaged and directing them to activities and event areas. In this seasonal role, you’ll need to maintain high energy and enthusiasm throughout our busy event and activities schedule, and will be happy posing for photos. Hours will vary, and weekend working is required.

The person? Enthusiastic, approachable and cheery, you will be comfortable performing in costume, and have great customer service skills. A drama or performance background would be useful, but it’s more important that you are great with people and have the confidence to engage with visitors of all ages. If you think you’ve got what it takes to hop into this role, then we’d love to hear from you!

Why work for us? This is a unique opportunity to work in the stunning setting of Dalkeith Country Park, in a friendly, fun and supportive environment.
