DESCRIPTION & REQUIREMENTS
PLEASE ONLY APPLY TO THIS ROLE IF YOU WORKED IN THIS ROLE FOR 2025; as this role differs for 2026, any returners for this role will be required to attend an in-person group interview.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
We are most famous for our award-winning event, buried deep in the Crown Estate near Ascot. 17 years ago, Mike & Alison Battle created the event out of their own desire to take their children somewhere that would celebrate the pure, commercially unsullied, magic of Christmas. Now, with the help of Hollywood set-designers, West-End actors and more than a sprinkling of magic, the event is keeping the magic of Christmas alive for thousands of children every year.
LaplandUK celebrates and honours the values, imagination and wonderment of childhood through our magical world, rich storytelling and immersive memory making experiences.
This is an exciting period of growth for us, as we look for new ways to bring the Lapland experience to a global audience through media, publishing, live shows and eCommerce channels.
ROLE OVERVIEW
Reimagined for 2026, with an enhanced focus on guest experience, our Guest Relations team act as ambassadors of the Lapland brand. They help our guests with any questions, requests, or feedback they may have. Passionate about delivering a premium guest experience, the Guest Relations team are located at key points across the experience, ready to help a guest with whatever they may need, at a moment’s notice.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
