Santa's Elf | The Distillery Winter Village
Toronto
October 14, 2024
Being one of Santa’s Elves is a magical role, you will ensure each and every person who you encounter at the Winter Village has a truly special experience. Elves are only ever seen by our visitors as Santa’s magical helpers, and not in any other capacity in order to keep the believability. This involves character work, endless energy and a lot of Christmas spirit. You must adhere to the Christmas Elf character at all times. Alongside Santa and your fellow Elves, you will deliver Christmas cheer to adults and children far and near as you stroll through the village, stopping for selfies and listening to the wants and wishes of good little children – and children at heart. A comprehensive and constant commitment to the Santa story, and a desire to make all our visitors’ dreams come true, is essential.
Here's what the Village offers its Elves:
- $22 per hour
- Daily staff meals
- A pass to The Winter Village
- The opportunity to be a vital part of this celebrated winter festival in the city!
Here’s what Santa’s Elves do:
- Provide a warm welcome to all Winter Village visitors in a courteous, joyful and helpful manner.
- Proactively engage with visitors with a warm smile and excellent communication skills.
- Assist Santa in his tasks and crowd control.
- Work happily with a team of Elves and Santa.
- Maintain your Elf persona from the moment you step into your costume and especially into the public view until you’re back to the change room and into your civilian clothes again.
- Improv with the crowd, answering questions from children about the North Pole and your colleagues making toys there.
Here’s our Wish List for Santa’s Elves:
- Flexibility. As per your seasonal contract, you will be required to work between Thursday, November 16th to Sunday, January 7th, including evenings and weekends (excluding December 24 and 25th). You will be scheduled, Monday through Sunday, based on your flexible availability. The shifts will range between the hours of 9:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
- Proven Acting/Improv Abilities. You’ve studied and/or practiced acting (this is a MUST) and thoroughly enjoy taking on a role and delivering great entertainment to a crowd.
- Great Communication. You’ll work closely in a crowd with Santa and your fellow Elves. You will need to communicate often, respectfully, warmly and clearly, both with visitors and fellow Villagers.
- High Level of Energy. You can expect to be on your feet for extended periods of time. You’ll also be constantly engaged with our visitors, smiling for photos and collecting Christmas wishes for Santa
- Positive Mindset. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Must love spreading joy and positive vibes to all of our visitors and fellow villagers.
- Snow Angel. Village work happens outside, so you must be prepared to work outdoors and withstand frigid temperatures – much like the weather you’re used to at the North Pole.
- Relevant Experience. A theatrical background is required. Perhaps you’ve been an Elf previously, or you’re studying Theatre Arts or Acting, or you’re actively involved in community theatre. If you love taking on a role and providing entertainment, we’d love to talk with you!
- Eligible. You must already be allowed to legally work in Canada.
