Fifty jobs are up for grabs this summer at a revamped holiday park.
Haven is recruiting staff, both full and part-time, across all departments at its site at Allhallows, near Rochester.
The company is looking to boost its seasonal team with roles on offer in leisure activities, housekeeping and catering at the park on the Hoo Peninsula.
A total of 1,500 roles need to be filled across 38 of its 41 holiday parks nationwide.
Nola Ferguson, head of talent acquisition, said the UK’s booming staycation market had prompted the demand to increase their workforce during the busy summer months.
She said: “At Haven, our guests are at the heart of everything we do and we are looking for job-seekers of all ages and backgrounds with a passion for delivering excellent service to ensure that our guests have the best possible holiday experience.”
Successful candidates will receive a comprehensive training programme which could put them in a favourable position for a long-term career in hospitality.
Earlier this year, the park underwent a refurbishment to include a new Marina Bar and Lounge, seating up to 1,200 people – triple the number of the previous venue.
Thanks to a range of in-built shutters, it can be divided into several smaller areas allowing space to watch live sport on multiple big screens, or, alternatively it can be opened up to create a large room for evening entertainment and functions.
The decked terrace has been designed to take advantage of the park's estuary views and there's the Wondershop to pick up souvenirs.
Other food and drink developments added last year include the new Seaside Treats and Cooks Fish & Chips restaurants.
Acquired by Blackstone in 2021, Haven has already invested more than £230 million in sites in 2021 and 2022 with a commitment to upgrading and modernising all destinations.
