We are looking for happy, outgoing, fun loving and hardworking people to join our award winning team! York Maze prides itself on its staff, and we try and do things a bit differently to other places. We believe you should be having fun at work, and this reflects through our whole ethos.
To help you achieve this, we have a set of shared values that we ALL work to!
Have fun at work! York Maze is not a big corporate entity. Be yourselves, have a laugh with the visitors, tell jokes, take the mickey, be silly and share a laugh and a smile with your friends and visitors. If you are having fun, the day will fly by!
Be honest and fair in all you do. If you can help somebody, do so. If something is not working right, speak up. If you're not happy, say so.
We trust in you to look after our visitors, you are the face of the business. Please respect our visitors and treat them well, they pay your wages! Look after you colleagues, and respect each other, we all need to work together to create a great attraction!
Focus on the job you are doing, and work hard at it. You are being paid to work! The visitors are your priority at all times, give them ALL your attention.
Most people expect theme park staff to be disinterested kids who look like they would rather be somewhere else. We pride ourselves on our team being the opposite of that! If you can do the 4 things above, people will really appreciate it, and they will share their happiness too!
York Maze is a seasonal visitor attraction, based around a growing crop of maize plants. But we are MUCH more than just a maze and we have more than 20 different rides and attractions for families to enjoy. Our 2026 summer season runs from July 11th to September 3rd, with staff training the week before we open to the public (July 6th - 10th).
You guys will be one of the most important parts of our visitor's day with us. If you can give them great service, along with a big smile, you will make their special day even more memorable!
