EVER fancied being an elf? Or even the main man Santa at Christmas time? Well, this year you can do just that in Flintshire.

We are now just over two months away from Christmas Day and many are already no doubt beginning to get into the festive spirit.

But, for those who want to take that a step further, they may just be able to live out a true dream of working as a Christmas character this December.

That is because the likes of the Reindeer Lodge at Leeswood, near Mold is on the lookout for cheerful 'elves' to join its team for some Christmas work.

Full-time and part-time roles are being offered at a wage of between £8 to £10.50 an hour.

Elves will begin their Christmas work from next month and will be required to 'stay in character' in their outdoor role.

A job description posted to Indeed read: "We are looking for energetic, happy and smiley individuals who are able to stay in character and interact with families in a busy, fast paced Christmas attraction, this is an outdoor role so must be resilient. Acting and dancing experience preferred.

"Position starts 24th November through to and including Christmas Eve."

And, if that isn't quite what you're after - and you'd like to be the big boss instead - then that's fine as there are even roles going as Santa Claus in Flintshire right now.

The Reindeer Lodge is also looking for someone to guide its elves through the busy Christmas period.

They wrote: "We are looking for the best Father Christmas around to work at a busy Christmas attraction.

"You must be jolly and have fantastic communication skills with all ages and abilities. Be able to stay in character for the whole day and treat every family as if it is your first, creating a magical experience to everyone you meet.

"A great knowledge of the must have toys for the year is a great advantage and the ability to learn and stick to a script."

That role - offering between £15 and £20 an hour - can be applied for via Indeed here.

And if you happen to miss out on that Santa post, then Abakhan Fabrics, based in Mostyn, are also on the lookout for a Father Christmas of their own.

A job description offering £15 an hour on GlassDoor, reads: "Do you have acting experience and a love for the festive season? If so, come and join our team to help make our magical Christmas events come alive.
