Work with Us at Waterside

At Waterside, people are at the heart of everything we do. Our award-winning holiday parks thrive thanks to the incredible teams who welcome guests, create memorable experiences, and ensure every stay is special. Whether you’re looking for seasonal work, a new challenge, or a long-term career, we offer opportunities across hospitality, leisure, guest services, and more - all in a supportive, family-run environment.

How we Recruit

  • All current vacancies are listed on our recruitment page
  • Each role includes a clear job description, job title, contract type, salary, and what skills we're looking for
  • We don’t just look at CVs. What matters most is your enthusiasm, skills and potential. When you apply, tell us why you’d be a great fit – whether through previous jobs, volunteering, education, or simply personal experiences that show you’ve got what it takes.

What We're Looking For

We’re looking for people who share our passion for creating memorable holidays. If you’re positive, reliable, and eager to make a difference, you’ll fit right in.

You don’t always need direct experience in holiday parks or hospitality - transferable skills and a great attitude are just as important. Whether you’ve worked in customer service, retail, housekeeping, maintenance, leisure, grounds, or security - or you’re simply passionate about working with people - there’s likely to be a role for you.

We’ll always provide the training and support you need to help you succeed.

Louise R, Sales Team
  • Having started on the 1st October 1983, I have to say, I feel privileged to have lived and worked through the many changes that have taken place here at Waterside. What was a relatively small park back in the day has blossomed into one of the country's top rated Holiday Parks with an outstanding level of service and facilities. I really couldn't be working at a better park. The Owners and management of the company truly care about us all as individuals and encourage our development. They are willing to lend an ear if needed and happy to hear of suggestions to make our working lives even better - if that is possible! Over 40 years in and I still look forward to coming to work every day. Working at Waterside is lively, fun and ever-changing, so every day is different and has helped shape my own personal development.

  • When I moved to Weymouth, I needed a change of job. My ideal would be in maintenance, by the beach, close to home, and ideally at Waterside. So, when I got the job at Bowleaze Cove Holiday Park & Spa, I was thrilled to bits. It's a great place to work, with not just a team environment, but a real family feel to it as well. I enjoy all aspects of the work, and meeting the guests and owners too. I'm looking forward to what is in store for the future.

Stories From Our Guests

Amazing place. Haven't been to a UK resort for years and things have changed a lot. Loads to do, right on the beach, great accommodation, food and drink places everywhere, clean, organised and just thoroughly enjoyable. If you've got kids and want a UK break, this is the place!

Stories From Our Guests

Tregoad is an excellent park and worth every penny. We stayed in one of the cottages with two children and our dog. The facilities were fantastic, the new swimming pool is very high quality. All the staff were friendly and helpful and the views were stunning.

Stories From Our Guests

This really is a beautifully kept park set in a lovely location with views across the hills and out to sea. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and there's such attention to detail, from the very well kept landscaping to little things like the doggy welcome pack in the caravan.

Stories From Our Guests

The caravans were clean and the site well kept. The swimming pool was great and both my girls enjoyed it. The soft play and amusements were great too. The entertainment was decent. We have booked for their sister site, Bowleaze for next year, looking forward to that. I would recommend.

Absolutely love it here! There's so much to do for all, a funfair, various arcades, loads of activities, lots of different food and drink places, a swimming pool, gym and spa and right on a beach! The beach boasts scenic views of Weymouth and Portland, and doggies are allowed too!
