Hundreds of holiday-park workers needed in Lincolnshire

Hundreds of staff are needed for the 2024 season

A caravan park company on the Lincolnshire coast is looking for almost a thousand staff.

A spokesperson for Haven said it needed more than 950 new workers at Cleethorpes, Mablethorpe and Skegness before the 2024 holiday season.

They said the company has seen an increase in bookings for this year.

It recently expanded by buying a rival caravan site at Mablethorpe.

The company said it had a range of roles for seasonal and permanent staff

Haven has 41 sites and said bookings were up seven per cent year-on-year for 2024.

A company spokesperson said: "This latest recruitment drive will support the growing UK staycation market."

Head of Talent, Nola Ferguson, said it was "a fantastic opportunity for talented individuals... whether in a seasonal role or for those aspiring to build a lasting career."

Earlier in March, Haven had announced it had bought the Holivans site in Mablethorpe in order to expand the Golden Sands park.

East Lindsey District Council, which covers Skegness and Mablethorpe, recently said there were approximately 37,000 caravans in the district, which it claimed was the highest concentration in Europe.
