Parkdean Resorts has announced a huge recruitment drive for around 750 new roles across its Devon holiday parks.

The Newcastle-based firm runs 66 sites across the 海角视频 including four at Bideford Bay, Challaborough Bay, Ruda and Torquay in Devon.

The jobs would be a mixture of seasonal and permanent positions, as the company looks to take on a total of around 11,000 workers across its operations in more than 10,000 seasonal and 750 permanent roles.

Parkdean said it would be looking to add new cleaners, bar staff, chefs, kitchen team members, waiting staff, receptionists, lifeguards and security officers, as it prepares for the 2023 holiday season.

HR director Lisa Charles-Jones said: 鈥淎 career in hospitality is truly rewarding and we鈥檙e delighted to be hiring so many new recruits in Devon this year. We have a range of positions available and each plays a crucial role in our business, so we鈥檙e really looking forward to welcoming some new faces to the team, as well as familiar faces who鈥檝e worked with us before, and encourage anyone who鈥檚 interested to apply.鈥

Last year Parkdean announced a 拢280,000 to upgrade accommodation at its Challaborough Bay holiday park, as part of record investment of 拢80m into its parks.

In June 2022 the business, which is owned by Canadian private equity firm Onex, said it had paused plans for it to be sold amid concerns over the prospects for the 海角视频 economy. Reports had said the potential deal could have been completed for around 拢1.6bn, following the post-pandemic boom in 海角视频-based holidays.
