Can't apply this year as i'm too young. But i'm hoping i'll be able to get a job at Alton while im at college. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Very unlikely - It would depend what you want to do - For a Ride Host you won't be able to Apply until you are 16 years of age.

Yeah, it's possible, quite a lot of college/6th Form students do part time work at Alton.

[Voke]

By Part-time do you mean weekends?

[James]

Yep, Alton do employ people on just weekends, all you'd need to do is put on your availability sheet that you can only work Saturdays and Sundays.

I would love to work at Alton on weekends, but I doubt waking up at 2-3am and getting home at 11pm-Midnight would do me any good. :P I do hope though to work at Alton full time for a season or two, may be for a gap year or just before I jump into a career.

[Voke]

Oh okay, this seems very promising! Will have to consider doing this, in about a year or so

Thanks everyone!

[Scott]

You can work at towers during weekends only, I did it for six weeks at the back end of 2007, although in that time I did a few Tuesday's aswell but only because it was my day off college.

Good Luck Jonathan! I've got to go for mine next tuesday but at 9:30am.

[Dark Forest Boy]

I've got mine Tuesday at 9.30am - but will be going to and from the resort with Jonathan and killing the other half of the day.

I applied for Ride Host

[Mr P]

Got Assesment on Tuesday at 1.30 for Ride Host and another on Thursday at 1.30 for Welcome.
Should be fun

[Jonathan1992]

Whats this Welcome business about? #-o

[Dan77]

One question! dose the 14 bus go to Magic HQ?

[Zoo Tom]

I would like to apply for ride host, but I leave school next year, and aren't 16 until August, do you think they would take me on from August - November. Also do they offer accommodation for 16year olds?

Tom

[Dark Forest Boy]

I doubt it Tom; on the basis that, they will probably have staff from throughout the year to cover it. Also, you'd need to be quick on the basis "New Starter" interviews begin tomorrow.

Equally, the Mills are only given to 18+ workers; although it seems that an Under 18 can live alongside an over-18 as long as the flat is named as being rented by the over 18 worker
