Entertainer (M/F/X) as Christmas back-up

At Acttiv we care about people. We are committed to creating talented teams that we train on an ongoing basis to put into practice innovative, surprising and quality leisure programmes in hotels and campsites. We have a common goal: to provide guests with a holiday full of incredible experiences. At Acttiv we take fun very seriously!

December arrives and you’re already singing Mariah Carey’s anthem? Do you know the names of Santa’s reindeer by heart? Is putting up the Christmas tree an annual event for you? Then you are one of us!

At Acttiv we want to incorporate an all-rounder who is full of good vibes to our entertainment team as Christmas reinforcement. But beware! This post is only for you if: a) you’re a super fan of all things Christmas, b) you’re a dynamic and energetic person, and c) you’re ready to lead an aquagym class dressed as an elf.

Some of your responsibilities will include:

• Organising children’s games for all ages, from the mini-club (3 to 8 years old) to the maxi-club (9 to 12 years old) and even teens (from 12 years old).
• Implementing activities of the adult programme: sports, games of all kinds or handicraft workshops, among others.
• Dancing with the children at the mini-disco
• Participating in the nightly entertainment shows
• Speaking in front of an audience with a microphone
• Liaising with guests and promoting the day’s activities.
• Taking care of the equipment necessary for all activities
• Obtain positive reviews to improve the online reputation of the establishment

Just as the elves at the North Pole work in teams, you will not be alone. In addition to your colleagues, you will be supported by the entertainments leader and the area coordinator. Both will guide and advise you in your tasks to meet the quality standards of both the hotel and Acttiv.

It is not essential to know how to go down a chimney or drive a flying sledge. To join Acttiv you only need:

• Experience as an entertainer for at least one season
• A good level of Spanish and English (at least B2). French, Portuguese, Dutch… and any other language is a plus.
• Education: no specific qualification is required, but we value studies in entertainment, children’s education, sport or dance as an asset.
• Geographical availability to work in the Canary Islands
• Availability: 16th December – 6th January

In addition to these requirements, you will be the ideal candidate if:

• You like new challenges
• You have a lot of energy
• Teamwork is part of your DNA
• You are flexible
• You have a wide repertoire of Christmas carols

OK, but what if you want to be an entertainer, but you don’t have experience yet? We’ll give you a hand! At Acttiv we offer introductory courses in tourist entertainment. In short: we train you to work as an entertainer and, if you pass the course, we commit ourselves to hiring you.

At Acttiv we believe that being an entertainer is more than a salary and a (fantastic) orange t-shirt. That’s why we are committed to you growing with us. To give you an idea of this commitment, currently 65% of our staff have been entertainers in the past.

If you join our team, you will not only enjoy a great working environment, but you will also benefit from:

• Solid professional advancement
• Continuous training in different subjects related to the world of tourist entertainment and the brand’s commitment to innovation.
• Support from the area coordinator and the HR team
• A huge library of activities at your disposal to inspire you
• The possibility of moving between destinations if you are looking to see different places.

In addition, as an entertainer you will enjoy the following conditions:

• Accommodation: you can use the accommodation offered by the hotel or find your own accommodation. If you decide to use it, €165,60 per month will be deducted from your salary to pay expenses.
• Meals included in the staff canteen
• 1,5-2 days free per week
• Acttiv Contract: Permanent seasonal
• Mutual insurance for accidents at work and civil liability insurance (during working hours).
• Social Security
• 30 (calendar) days holiday per year of work
• Help with registration in the Spanish contribution system
