As one of the UK’s biggest holiday companies, with 67 award-winning resorts and many in military-heavy coastal locations, we were delighted to welcome Parkdean Resorts to the FFJ community.
You may think that roles within the hospitality industry are limited to serving diners, bar work or housekeeping, but Parkdean Resorts offers a variety of other roles alongside these traditional ones.
You will also find vacancies for sales representatives, maintenance and grounds management staff, security, management roles, catering, retail and various others. In addition to that, at the Parkdean Resorts Central Support Office in Gosforth near Newcastle, you will find HR, IT, Marketing and many more departments which each have recruitment needs of their own.
Parkdean Resorts also offers training opportunities in the form of apprenticeships. The Kitchen Academy strives to inspire and develop team members, supporting them into rewarding careers and enabling them to grow within the business. Similarly, their Holiday Home Sales Academy equips team members with skills and confidence to develop careers in sales.
Lisa Charles-Jones, HR Director, explains: “Our values are pace, belonging, difference, value and care. We believe these are what bring us together and set us apart. We have a variety of people who make up our UK-wide team. If you can live and breathe our values, you’ll fit into the family.”
Lisa continued: “We are committed to diversity and inclusion, recognising that we have a unique opportunity to support the Armed Forces community. The Armed Forces covenant is a key pillar to helping us achieve our goals, and our recent silver award is testament to the work we have done so far.”
