Across our global LEGO® and LEGOLAND® Discovery Centres, our talented model builders use the magic of LEGO® to create joy for our guests.

From preparing meals and maintaining habitats, to assisting in animal enrichment and health checks, every day is unique. They also educate and inspire our guests, sharing fascinating facts about the animals in our care and raising awareness about wildlife conservation.

Chocolate Demonstrators at Cadbury World are key to our guest experience, showcasing the craft behind our iconic treats. This hands-on role lets you engage with guests from all walks of life and share Cadbury's rich heritage as you demonstrate how our delicious products are made – from tempering chocolate to crafting intricate designs.

Our culture is rooted in the joy of shared experiences. Globally, our gateway attractions offer their own variety of fun ways to get involved, from fundraisers and team building exercises, to team lunches and socials. Learning takes the form of apprenticeship opportunities (UK), Ticket to Lead for newly appointed supervisors/ managers, in person training sessions, and more. If you are passionate about developing your career at Merlin, we have the ticket for you to take the next step!
