WORK IS CHILD’S PLAY AT MEADOWHALL THIS SUMMER

 Meadowhall Shopping Centre in Yorkshire has a very important vacancy it is looking to fill this summer, as it searches the region for its first Toy Quality Control Analyst. With a strict job specification – the successful candidate must have been born between 1999 and 2005 and already spend at least two hours per day playing with toys – Meadowhall is taking the recruitment process very seriously.

 This new position is being created in a bid to ensure that the Centre’s toy offering is as strong as possible in preparation for the summer rush. The successful candidate will be tasked with playing with the best-selling toys available in the Centre and reporting back their findings to Meadowhall’s Centre Director Darren Pearce – as well as keeping an online blog and a video diary.

 Darren Pearce, Centre Director at Meadowhall Shopping Centre, said: “We are really keen to learn directly from children about what they believe makes a top toy. Summer is a notoriously difficult time for parents to keep their children entertained and we want to help them out by giving them the inside track as to what the kids want to play with this summer.”

 The successful applicant will be invited to the Centre throughout the course of the summer holidays. They will report their findings back to the Centre Director, as well as via an online blog and Meadowhall’s You Tube channel, and be paid a salary of toys.

 Parents and guardians must apply for the role on their child’s behalf by going to www.meadowhall.co.uk and downloading an application form. They will then be required to let Meadowhall know in 100 words or less why their child would be perfect for the role by 6pm on Sunday July 17th. All applications will be reviewed, with a short list of candidates being invited to the Centre for an interview on 25^th July.

 Darren concludes: “This is an exciting opportunity for the successful candidate, and also provides us with a great opportunity to really understand what it is that kids want. As adults I think we often spend too much time guessing what kids want and not enough time asking – something we are looking to change!”
