Here's how you could work as an elf in a Glasgow toy shop this Christmas

Santa Claus is coming to town! And he needs a helping hand.

Glasgow toy store Hamleys is on the look out for elves them over the festive period as Saint Nick and his grotto gets set to make a return.

All wannabe elves must be passionate about Christmas and be ready to learn a script and interact with children if selected for the role at the St Enoch store.

The job isn't for shy folk - it's billed as a "performance" role and applicants would be expected to be confident, enthusiastic, outgoing and 'high levels of energy' (guess that's us out then), as well as the ability to build a rapport with people of all ages.

You'd also (obviously) be expected to don a costume in order to properly deck the halls.

You would have a seasonal contract and would have to work weekends and other flexible shifts.

If you fancy being one of Santa's little helpers this Christmas, you can apply here.

Good luck, Glasgow!
