You will work alongside the Character Lead, who will support you throughout the day and act as your dedicated Character Escort. Your primary responsibility is to bring Charlie the Chimney to life inside the costume through engaging, expressive and consistent performances. Together, you will create memorable guest interactions while the Character Lead manages guest flow, photo opportunities, performer welfare and operational support, ensuring every appearance is delivered safely, consistently and in line with the character standards.

We're looking for people who are

Energetic, expressive and confident engaging with children, families and visitors from a wide range of backgrounds.
Comfortable using movement, gesture and physical storytelling to communicate without relying on speech while in costume.

Remain aware of your surroundings and follow the Character Lead's direction to ensure performances are delivered safely and smoothly.
Stay in character at all times while in costume, maintaining Charlie's personality and performance style.
Communicate any concerns, fatigue, visibility issues or discomfort to the Character Lead as soon as possible so appropriate support can be provided.

End of Your Shift

Assist the Character Lead with removing and checking the costume, reporting any damage, maintenance issues or concerns.
Ensure all costume items and accessories are returned correctly and ready for cleaning and storage.
Take part in the end-of-day debrief, sharing feedback, guest interactions and any ideas to improve future performances.

Requirements

Previous experience in performance, theatre, dance, physical theatre, live entertainment, mascot performance, visitor attractions, events or guest engagement is preferred.
Strong physical communication, improvisation and audience-engagement skills.
Confident working in busy public environments and interacting with children and families.
Physically able to wear and perform in a full character costume, subject to appropriate costume fit and reasonable adjustments.
Able to follow performance direction, operating procedures and health and safety requirements consistently.
Reliable and flexible, with strong availability on Fridays, weekends, school holidays and peak periods.
Must be eligible to work in the UK.

Benefits
