Dobbies garden centre is looking for elves and a Father Christmas to help spread Christmas cheer this year.
The brand is looking to recruit for a number of roles in the run-up to Christmas to help make sure children across Merseyside get the chance to meet Santa Claus.
Those selected for the all important job will get the chance to wear "the special red suit" and impersonate the man himself.
Needing helpers, Dobbies is also looking for elves to help Santa at the North Pole.
This year is like no other, following the coronavirus pandemic and the grotto experience will be slightly different.
Families will not be able to be closer than 1.5m to Santa and will choose their own present.

"You must be confident, kind and have a jolly nature, along with the ability to say "Ho, Ho, Ho" with plenty of enthusiasm. You must be able to engage with and build rapport with people of all ages."
