About You

You’ll be a creative and experienced social media manager, with a track record in creating successful campaigns across social media and other digital channels. A strong creative side, able to come up with your own ideas and create engaging corntent with photography and video editing skills. You’ll need to demonstrate a good understanding of social media advertising, what works and how to track results. You will have strong organisational and planning skills, able to work at a fast pace, managing multiple projects at the same time. A happy and fun-loving personality. You’ll have a “can do” attitude, able to cope with the peaks and troughs of a seasonal business. Ideally, you’ll come from a tourism, hospitality, events or leisure background or have experience in a fun and engaging B2C sector. Above all you will be passionate about customer service excellence, a team player able to work as part of small team in a fun, fast paced environment. Happy to support colleagues and get stuck into whatever needs doing.

Hours of work

There is some opportunity for home working especially during the closed season, but during our open season you will need to be on site most days. The workload fluctuates with the seasonal aspects of the job. When we are fully operational (early July to early Sep and the month of Oct), we expect you to work 6 days a week. During our Hallowscream nights you will be expected to work circa 2pm – 11pm. When we are not open then you may be working 4 or sometimes 3 days a week. This will equate to the equivalent of a 40hr 5 day a week job across the year. You will be expected to manage your own time to allow you to achieve the best results you can.
