Guest Experience Host

Location: SEA LIFE Manchester, Barton Square Bridge, Trafford Centre, M17 8AS

Contract Type: Seasonal, until November 2026.

Are you looking for a full-time, seasonal job that’s full of FUN? If you fancy working where sharks and sea turtles watch on as you go about your daily work, then apply today for this Guest Experience Host role!

You’ll be working out on the front-line within the attraction, welcoming, greeting, interacting with, and helping our guests at every opportunity, ensuring they get the absolute most from their visit. This is a very performance heavy role and will involve a lot of public speaking.

This is a seasonal, fixed term position, contracted until November 2026. Midweek, weekend and bank holiday shifts are required.
