Live-In Park Operations Supervisor – Co. Galway, Ireland
Salary + Free On-Site Accommodation
Weekend & School Holiday Availability Essential
An established, family-run adventure and pet farm park in the beautiful west of Ireland is seeking a friendly, reliable and practical individual to take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the park.
The park offers extensive indoor and outdoor play areas, inflatable attractions, large slides, animal activities, café facilities and seasonal events.
This is a varied, hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys working with people, takes pride in their work and is happy to get involved in all aspects of running a busy family attraction.
What the Role Involves
· Overseeing the smooth day-to-day operation of the park, including weekends and school holiday periods
· Supervising and supporting an existing team of staff
· Ensuring daily safety checks and procedures are properly completed
· Overseeing play areas, attractions, animal activities and general facilities
· Coordinating the daily running of the café, kitchen and reception
· Maintaining excellent standards of cleanliness, safety and customer service
· Handling everyday issues calmly, confidently and sensibly
· Leading by example and helping out wherever needed
Who We're Looking For
Above all, we're looking for someone with good common sense, sound judgement and excellent people skills.
Someone who is naturally friendly, courteous and respectful towards both visitors and colleagues, who can handle situations calmly and fairly, and who knows how to get things done without needing constant direction.
A genuine commitment to safety, reliability, initiative and a positive attitude are particularly important.
Previous experience in a family attraction, adventure park, holiday park, leisure facility, hospitality or similar environment would be an advantage, but formal management qualifications are not essential.
We're looking for the right person — someone dependable, approachable and willing to roll up their sleeves.
Weekend and school holiday availability is essential, as these are key operating periods for the park. The successful candidate must be comfortable working during these busy times, with scheduled days off arranged as part of the normal working rota.
What We Offer
· Free on-site accommodation
· Salary based on agreed hours and experience
· An initial fixed-term contract of 6–12 months, including a probationary period, with the possibility of extension
· Training and support to become familiar with the park and its operations
· A varied and rewarding role in an established family attraction
· The opportunity to live and work in the beautiful west of Ireland
A Note About Transport
As the park is located in a beautiful rural part of Co. Galway, having your own car is highly recommended, both for practical reasons and to make the most of your time here — whether exploring Connemara and the surrounding countryside on your days off or travelling to nearby towns for shopping and leisure.
Applications are welcome from Ireland and the UK.
