The working season for campsite and holiday park jobs can begin at different times of the year, which may be determined by the location of the campsite, its popularity and size. Some jobs such as the campsite courier may require you to be on-site for up to 5 months. Other jobs may be for a few weeks at a time as these workers help to open up and close the campsite, assembling tents, checking the infrastructure of the accommodation including mobile homes and caravans. These positions require hard work and a hands-on teamwork approach but de-montage and montage workers usually get the chance to move between sites in different areas giving them the opportunity to see more of the country.

For jobs on campsites and holiday parks you need to be enthusiastic, flexible and hard-working with a strong emphasis on customer service. You need to be able to work as a part of a close team as well as being able to cope under pressure or working alone. Strong social and people skills are a must and a knowledge of other languages is always useful. So if you’re looking for a new experience and are open to embracing different situations and meeting new people, a job on a campsite or holiday park could be just the ticket for you.
