Paultons Park in Hampshire has announced that it is to create 150 new jobs. The amusement park, which is the home of Peppa Pig World, is seeking a range of new roles in order to meet growing demand, including cleaners, retail assistants and ride operators. There is no indication of when all the jobs will be filled, though the recruitment process is already underway. The park hosted a recruitment fair in January 2019 where prospective employees could find out more about how the business works.
