Pleasure Beach Resort has announced a significant recruitment drive for the 2026 season, with hundreds of roles available across the business, including opportunities to work on the park’s newest attraction, Aviktas.
The campaign includes more than 100 immediate vacancies, spanning both full-time and part-time positions, as the resort prepares for what it describes as one of its most important seasons in recent years.
Roles Across Operations, Entertainment and Guest Services
Recruitment is taking place across a wide range of departments, reflecting the scale and operational complexity of one of the UK’s most established theme park destinations. Successful applicants may find themselves:
-
Training as ride operators on major attractions
-
Supporting live shows and seasonal events
-
Maintaining the park’s 42-acre site
-
Working in guest-facing roles across retail, food and beverage, and admissions
-
Joining the entertainment teams in Nickelodeon Land, including character interactions
The breadth of roles highlights the continued demand for skilled seasonal labour within the attractions sector, particularly as parks invest in new rides and extended operating calendars.
Recruitment Days and Seasonal Timeline
Pleasure Beach Resort is inviting candidates to attend one of two on-site recruitment days:
-
Wednesday 28 January (2pm–6pm)
-
Saturday 31 January (10am–4pm)
The events will take place at WG Beans coffee shop, located within the Casino Building at the resort.
The majority of roles are expected to be filled ahead of the 2026 main season opening on Saturday 7 March, with Nickelodeon Land opening earlier on 14 February to coincide with the half-term holiday period.
Skills Development and Career Progression
While many of the roles are seasonal, Pleasure Beach Resort is positioning the opportunities as a potential pathway into longer-term employment, with options for internal progression and access to learning and development programmes.
Sara Boswell, Director of HR at Pleasure Beach Resort, said the coming year represents a key moment for the business:
“With a new ride on the way and a big birthday to celebrate, 2026 will be one of the most exciting times to work here at Pleasure Beach Resort.”
She added that the roles offer candidates the chance to build transferable skills within a large-scale attractions environment, whether they are seeking flexible work or longer-term career opportunities.

-
A season pass and complimentary tickets for friends and family
-
Discounts across shows, events and on-site offerings
-
Perks with local businesses

Flexible shift patterns and both full-time and part-time contracts are available, aimed at attracting candidates with diverse availability and experience levels.
Industry Outlook
The recruitment drive underscores broader trends across the attractions industry, where new ride openings, extended seasons and diversified entertainment offerings continue to drive demand for operational, technical and guest service staff.
For suppliers, operators and workforce partners, the announcement also highlights the growing importance of talent retention, training and employee incentives in supporting post-pandemic growth and investment cycles.
