Sesame Place in Langhorne announced a series of hiring events in anticipation of an influx of guests during the spring and summer operating seasons. The Sesame Street-themed park has a goal of hiring 900 employees, called Ambassadors.
“Working at Sesame Place isn’t just another summer job,” said park president Cathy Valeriano. “As an Ambassador, you’ll create amazing memories that will last a lifetime for both you and our guests.”
Open positions include food and beverage service Ambassador, park quality Ambassador, photographer, public safety officer and ride operator. Part-time positions are available, with the potential for full-time hours and year-round employment. If hired, applicants can earn up to $15/hour and may also be eligible for a $500 hiring bonus.
Other perks include: free park admission; discounted park admission tickets and passes for family and friends; scholarship opportunities; and exclusive employee events and giveaways.
