I read elsewhere that C&CC are closing some sites and cancelling people’s bookings due to staff shortages. Sure enough, it's true and they've updated their website today. I hope nobody here is affected.

I was speaking to a site owner during the summer who was really quite stressed that he was finding it so much more difficult to get site staff during the summer months. I guess one of the problems is that, during the peak period, some employment is seasonal. Anyone who is after a job is more likely to want a full time/ all year round job, if they can get it...

If it was to be done why travel far away? There must be few sites within distance of HQ?
Posted on 15/10/2021 16:35 by CornersteadyThe idea was 'work experience' as suggested by TDA.

That is not how the thread has developed 
But then they already do "work experiance? "at Alderstead Heath site ,with accommodation supplied ,,if there are enough real site staff staff to keep it going 
closes soon because of shortage of staff until Jan?
Short distance from EGH
Posted on 15/10/2021 12:45 by TakethedogalongI know what I would do. I’d suggest some of the folks who work at HQ give it a go, a lot of them have outfits. They could show true willing and keep the cash rolling in, not let down the punters. Existing Wardens could give them a hand, make sure they are doing it right😇😁 It’s always good to get on the job experience, puts dealing with complaints (staff and visitors) into perspective.
And before anyone asks, yes it was something I used to do back in another life, hard work at times, great fun at times, but the experience was priceless👍

Crikey, how did so many miss that this suggestion was tongue in cheek! And I actually said it was in my follow up post that outlined a different scenario. 🤷♀️😂
It’s feasible at certain times, to get a good all round feel for another part of the business, but not during an emergency situation. Folks have to be given the proper role training around what’s required at the least.

Posted on 15/10/2021 17:27 by TakethedogalongIt is if you head off abroad every year. Some wouldn’t care a fig if UK Sites closed.
I ask myself which is the more unique provision, nice Sites, much loved by UK holidaymakers, or holiday insurance, which dozens of firms provide🤷♀️
