Dobbies Garden Centre in Ponteland is already hiring festive staff ahead of the Christmas season.
The centre is recruiting for Christmas roles at its Ponteland branch, where seasonal staff will help bring festive events to life as Santas and elves.
Ayesha Nickson, events programme manager at Dobbies, said: "Christmas is always a magical time at Dobbies, and we are looking forward to creating memorable visits for all the family this year, with the help of our new Christmas team at the Ponteland store.
"We are encouraging anyone that loves the festive season to apply, no matter how much experience they have.
"Our training programme ensures everyone will be feeling confident to create unforgettable moments.
"If you're looking for a rewarding role this festive season, we strongly encourage you to apply."
The ideal candidates will be warm, cheerful, and ready to make every visit special, whether welcoming children and dogs to the North Pole adventure-themed grotto or hosting Santa’s Breakfast in the restaurant.
Those successful will take part in Dobbies’ Santa School, an online training programme to prepare them for the role, followed by in-store training sessions.
Preparations will begin in mid-November, ahead of Santa’s Arrival, a free season-launch event taking place on Sunday, November 23.
Applicants are now invited to apply for the Santa role, with elf positions to be announced soon.
