ARE you ready to take your next career step? Then the Gulliver’s World ‘Theme Park Trainee Manager Graduate Programme’ could be for you.
The Warrington theme park resort is looking for future leaders for this year’s programme, with opportunities also available at Gulliver’s other UK locations in Milton Keynes, Matlock Bath and Rotherham, and builds on the incredible success of last year’s intake which has seen a nine-strong team go from strength-to-strength.
The family-friendly theme park resorts include a wide range of thrilling rides and attractions and unique, award-winning accommodation.
The 12-month Trainee Manager programme offers placements across different areas of the business, a first-class training programme to develop skills and knowledge, a senior level mentor and ownership of bespoke projects.
Mae Spencer, who joined Gulliver’s on the scheme in 2021, said: As part of the comprehensive training programme, trainee managers are assigned a course mentor and spend time at each of Gulliver’s four parks across the UK, learning about everything from catering and accommodation to retail and rides so it’s really interesting.
“As a customer you don’t really realise what goes into running a park. It’s great to understand how all the departments work together to get this unique product up and running.
“There’s a lot of teamwork and, because it’s a family-run business, Gulliver’s like employees to come up with ideas to make the park better and improve the experience for guests. We’re encouraged to come up with new ideas that upper management and directors listen to and I just love helping children and their families have unforgettable experiences. I want to keep progressing, hopefully become a manager and get as high as possible in the company.”
Gulliver’s World invites applications from high-energy, ambitious individuals with a hands-on approach and excellent communication skills. Applicants should have experience organising and dealing with customers, plenty of innovative ideas and an infectious enthusiasm.
While graduates are encouraged to apply, all enthusiastic applicants with relevant experience will be considered.
The ability to work across all Gulliver’s locations is essential and candidates must be able to demonstrate evidence of a strong work ethic.
Julie Dalton, managing director at Gulliver’s Theme Parks Resorts, said: “This is the perfect opportunity for a graduate looking to begin their career in leisure, tourism, business and hospitality, but we will consider all enthusiastic applicants with relevant experience.
“For us, this year’s scheme is a real celebration of its success over recent years as we continue to employ local people and invest in the four regions where the parks are based. Mae is a great example of someone who has gone really far and we’re very proud of what she has achieved.”
“If you feel you have the drive, attitude and necessary skills for the Trainee Manager positions and want to be part of a great, growing company, we’d love to hear from you.”
The graduate programme offers those prepared to work hard and develop new skills the chance to progress to more senior leadership roles within the business.
Applications, including CV and covering letter, should be sent to [email protected]
The deadline for applications is Friday, May 20.
