What do the summer jobs involve?
The job is highly varied and does involve a lot of
hard work. Equally the rewards are high in terms of job satisfaction,
personal development and social interaction.
If you are looking for variety, responsibility, skill development
and interaction with the public then this job will offer all
that and more.
No two days will ever be the same. If you
need a strict routine then this will not be the job for you!
A high level of responsibility is given to all staff and in
particular you are encouraged to manage your own time to ensure
you can explore and enjoy the location in which you are working.
Our campsites are all on or near to glorious beaches!
You will need to be flexible and adaptable
to be successful in an overseas position and you will be responsible
for ensuring that our accommodation and services are delivered
to the customer at the highest level of quality.

is a key part of your job and attention to detail is of the
utmost importance. Additionally you will be involved in such
roles as organising and running children’s games and
activities, organising and running customer events, assisting
guests, providing local information, liaising with suppliers
and campsite owners and staff. We will discuss the role further
and in more detail with you at interview.
Do I need to attend an interview?
Yes. All positions will require you to attend an
interview at our offices in Hertfordshire.
Where will I be placed and how many
staff will there be?
We will decide this once you are out in France and working
with other members of the team. It is important for us to
see how you work and interact with other staff and management.
Likewise it is important for you to get a feel for us and
understand more how we work.

courier, with one other courier or as part of a larger team.

and you will need to wear this during specific periods and
as often as possible. You must be clean, tidy and presentable
at all times for customers. This means that untidy hair, facial
piercing, scruffy footwear, facial stubble and offensive tattoos
are unacceptable.
Can I work with a friend or partner?

on the same campsite or even in the same area. There are many
factors for us to consider when allocating staff to particular
