More than a park, a launchpad: say hello to our Springboard Parks
Are you ready to take your career to the next level? At Parkdean Resorts, we don’t just offer jobs; we provide the stage for you to shine. As we look toward an exciting 2026, we are pleased to shout about the transformation of two of our parks: Vauxhall Holiday Park and Highfield Grange.
We’re calling them our Springboard Parks, and for a great reason. With a combined investment of nearly £9 million, these parks are being given a fresh makeover as the ultimate launchpad for our guests’ holidays and, more importantly, for your career!
The transformation
We are on a mission to make every holiday memorable, and that starts with high-quality facilities and a range of exciting things to do.
We’re proud to be introducing brand-new, high-energy activities that you won't find anywhere else. From immersive Bear Grylls escape rooms and state-of-the-art indoor mini-golf to the all-new Hat-Tricks sports bar, we are creating a vibrant, modern environment.
When you work at a Springboard Park, you aren't just joining a holiday park; you’re joining a cutting-edge leisure destination that naturally looks great on the CV.
Your opportunity to grow with us
With new park facilities come new opportunities! We’ll be hiring for a variety of roles across both Springboard parks, including:
- Chefs: From plating up family favorites to managing a high-pressure kitchen.
- Bar & Waiting Staff: Be the face of our brand-new Hat-Tricks sports bar.
- Leisure & Activities: Lead the fun in our escape rooms, on the mini-golf course, in the swimming pool, and lots more!
- Accommodation roles: The backbone of our guest experience, ensuring our upgraded facilities and expanded pitches are sparkling.

Skills that last a lifetime
Working at a Springboard Park is about more than just a job; it’s about the skills and qualities you’ll develop along the way. Whether you join us for a season or stay for a career, you will gain and refine:
- Adaptability & Innovation: Being part of a brand-new launch means you’ll learn how to navigate a fast-paced, evolving environment. You’ll be at the forefront of exciting hospitality developments.
- Exceptional Customer Service: You’ll learn the art of creating "wow" moments, developing the communication skills needed to handle any situation with a smile.
- Teamwork and Leadership: You’ll learn how to work seamlessly within a diverse team, and for those interested in leading, there are clear pathways to step up into supervisory and management roles.
Why work here?
When our people are happy, our guests are happy.
By joining Vauxhall or Highfield Grange during this exciting time, you’ll be part of a community that celebrates success and supports your personal growth.
This is your chance to be there from the beginning of something special. If you are energetic, passionate about people, and ready to launch your career, we want to hear from you!
