Contract Type: Seasonal, until November 2026.
Are you looking for a full-time, seasonal job that’s full of FUN? If you fancy working where sharks and sea turtles watch on as you go about your daily work, then apply today for this Guest Experience Host role!
You’ll be working out on the front-line within the attraction, welcoming, greeting, interacting with, and helping our guests at every opportunity, ensuring they get the absolute most from their visit. This is a very performance heavy role and will involve a lot of public speaking.
On a typical day (if you can call it that) you will ensure our guests have an intimate Ocean experience through fun, up close storytelling with hands on interaction. You could find yourself delivering entertaining and informative talks to our guests, inspiring the future generation, dressing up in costume characters as well as delivering school workshops, birthday parties and our premium experiences.
