Tayto Park to create 250 seasonal jobs this summer

Ireland's only theme park zoo Tayto Park is to create 250 seasonal jobs in 2022 across a range of areas as the Ashbourne attraction prepares to re-open for its spring/summer season.

Recruiters say they are on the hunt for "fun, outgoing, dynamic people" to join the Tayto Park team.

They are hiring for a mix of part time and full time roles across a range of departments including admissions, bookings, food & beverage, theme park attractions, zoo attendants, tour guides, grounds keeping, retail teams and more.

Describing the benefits of working at the "flexible and fun" theme park, recruiters revealed that workers can expect to enjoy 30% off tickets for family and friends, 20% off retail, company BBQ’s and events, along with plenty of opportunities to earn extra hours.

Applicants must be 17 or older by April 1 2022 to be considered.

"From welcoming families at reception, chasing rollercoasters to working with the animals at the Tayto Park Zoo, there is quite literally a job for anyone who wants to work in a place where FUN is fundamental," the job ad reads.

Tayto recently announced the end of its sponsorship of Tayto Park. It will end on New Year's Eve 2022.

The founder of Tayto Park said that he was excited for a new chapter for the much-loved attraction.

Raymond Coyle said: "We have decided that in order to expand and meet our ambitious targets for the park, now is the opportune time to rename the park to better reflect the exciting rides, attractions and zoo that are coming over the next few years."
