Job Vacancies

 
Thanks for your interest in working for Deepdale Farms on the beautiful north Norfolk coast.  We are a small friendly busy team and are often looking for people to join us, on a seasonal or fulltime basis.  (Please note that we aren't in London, if you would like to know where we are then please click here)

We are happy to employ both locals and from around the world, as we need people who are prepared to get their hands dirty and muck in with the team.  Often our seasonal staff return year after year.

If you are looking for a long term career then we are happy to invest in our staff with training and experience, in fact we are an 'Investor in People'.  We have a full induction which explains all the various parts of the job and many external courses that are available.

Every job at Deepdale has cross over with other jobs, so that all staff have a better idea of the overall business and can cover staff during holidays and sickness.  We don't have any purely desk jobs, because all staff will be involved with a whole range of activities around the site.

We hope you'll apply and that if you are successful, you'll enjoy working at Deepdale.

 
"In my two and a half years working on the tourism side of Deepdale Farms I've taken on a broad range of responsibilities and challenges. From finding my way around pretty complex software to learning how to drive an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) to the challenges of making up countless bunk beds as a 16 year old, there's always something to learn and the team at Deepdale are always eager to help you with whatever comes your way. In my case Deepdale has provided everything from flexible holiday work when I return from university to brilliant memories of long summers' evenings on the beach with a very eclectic mix of people! Don't get me wrong, Deepdale's hard work, but I find if you're prepared to put in the graft and approach the tasks with a positive attitude, Deepdale can give you a superb working environment in a brilliant team."

"I never intended to work at Deepdale - it all happened completely by accident! I actually went and stayed (as a paying guest), fell in love with the place and surrounds, came back for a second visit, and then decided to escape the rat-race of London for summer, by working at Deepdale. My city-loving friends were dubious, but it was the most enjoyable summer I've had in the UK - and when I eventually managed to bring my friends up for a visit, they came around to the smart decision I'd made. Of the four months I spent up at Deepdale, no two days were the same. I loved meeting the guests that travelled from both near and far. I've kept in touch with many people who I met over that summer, and a few of them have become some of my closest friends."
