A SANTA’S Grotto in Manchester is seeking 100 new recruits from around the North West this Christmas.

People in Bolton can earn their elf ears by signing up to be Santa’s little helpers at the Chill Factore.

The indoor snow sports centre will be home to the UK’s only Santa’s Grotto on real snow from November 5 and residents are being invited to audition and help bring some magic to the festive season.

Sales and marketing director, Sarah Atkins, said: “Santa’s Helpers are crucial in delivering a magical Christmas experience to families across the North of England.

“We’re pleased to be able to offer seasonal employment to 100 passionate people, who can live the spirit of challenge and have a love for all things festive.”

Surrounded by real snow, and glistening light, the Santa’s Grotto welcomes over a million visitors annually and will be open every weekend in November and every day in December right up until Christmas Eve.

Working alongside the Snow Crew team, Santa’s Helper will be responsible for organising guests throughout their visit to Santa, entertaining children and adults in the queues.

Deadline for applications closes tomorrow, to apply send a CV and covering letter to hrcfe@chillfactore.com, and for more information visit chillfactore.com/jobs/our-benefits.
