Adventure Island is recruiting "outgoing and enthusiastic" staff for the summer season.

The popular Southend seafront attraction is offering a range of roles, from entertainment hosts to rangers, for people over the age of 16.

Applicants are required to be 'extroverted, outgoing, lively, enthusiastic and full of energy'.

Stockvale, which runs the park, is also offering several perks to staff members including 50 per cent off meals in Stockvale restaurants and membership to 'The Stars League', a rewards scheme that offers the 175 hardest working employees a bonus of up to £250.

Adventure Island is hiring for rides, photos, cashier, rangers, security, entertainment, catering, arcades, and maintenance.

Pay rates vary based on age, starting from £6 per hour for 16 to 17 year olds, to £11.71 for those 23 and older.

Adventure Island is also hosting a recruitment day at the Western Esplanade park on Tuesday, June 25, for year 11 students looking for a new challenge after taking their GCSEs.

All the youngsters need to do is apply on line and they will be contacted to book in.
