The job advertisment as posted online in the IWCP Job Section and states:

SANTA CLAUSE
Arreton Barns Craft Village SANTA CLAUSE WANTED Must be C.R.B. checked. Telephone Jane or Deb in 1st instance 539365

Santa Claus has perhaps the oddest working conditions of anyone in the country: unemployed for 11 months of the year, then burning the candle at both ends to keep children happy.

No employment information is given other than above (note the incorrect Clause).  However, one would imagine the successful applicant must fit the part and play the roll of a traditional Santa Claus, along with good communication skills a must. Duties (presumably) include, giving children gifts, posing for photographs and any other Santa tasks required.

While the real Santa Claus doesn’t require monetary remuneration, we expect the Arreton Barns Craft Village Santa will have bills to pay and expenses to meet and we expect a suitable pay deal will be arranged with the successful applicant.  To help would be Santa’s on their way check out the video below its chocked full of everything a Jolly Old Santa Claus will need to get you in the zone.
