Come and join our team and bring the magic of Christmas to life. You'll do this by being the centre of our festive experience across our stores and creating memorable grotto visits for all the family., As Santa, you'll deliver Christmas magic to the whole family through:

• Bringing joy, wonder, and unforgettable memories for every family who visits the grotto. With your warmth, charm and festive spirit, you'll become the heart of the holiday season - making each visit a truly enchanting experience they'll never forget.
• Spreading festive cheer as you host our enchanting Santa's breakfasts - where magical mornings begin with laughter. With your jolly presence and storytelling charm, you'll turn breakfast at Dobbies into an unforgettable festive experience for children and grown-ups alike.
• Acting as a true ambassador of festive cheer as you spread Christmas joy far and wide - bringing twinkling smiles to children, adults and even four-legged friends as part of our Santa Paws events.
  
  We're on the lookout for the real Santa Claus. You'll have a heart full of kindness, a laugh that rumbles like sleigh bells, and a natural ability to make everyone you encounter, believe in the magic of Christmas.
You are:
• A wonderful listener, a master storyteller, and endlessly patient - being intuitive with the different needs of those coming to see you (and not at all fazed by long wish lists or tricky questions).
• Warm, jolly and full of festive cheer as well as calm, gentle, and full of genuine care - whether you're engaging with young children, grown adults or even dogs.

We champion garden living all-year-round. Many of our stores feature a restaurant or coffee shop, where customers can enjoy refreshments or meals in a relaxed and welcoming environment. We offer a calendar of events and experiences that bring people and communities together, and we have a national charity partner that both our colleagues and customers raise money for. We're committed to being a great place to work. We're one team and we encourage our colleagues to be the best version of themselves, every day; to share their wins and celebrate success.
