Santa Characters Wanted!

🎅 Join Our Amazing Kids Parties Team as Santa! 🎅

Santa Host – Casual, Seasonal Brisbane | $70–$100 for the first hour | Variable hours | Weekends & December weekdays

A hosting role that pays well and turns your natural festive energy into a rewarding side hustle.

Are you ready to spread Christmas cheer, bring joy to children, and create magical holiday memories? Amazing Kids Parties, Australia's premier kids' entertainment provider, is looking for charismatic and jolly individuals to step into the red suit and become Santa Claus for the festive season!

From Christmas parties and community events to corporate celebrations and childcare centre visits, our Santas are the stars of the season — bringing smiles, laughter, and festive magic wherever they go.

About Us At Amazing Kids Parties, we specialise in creating unforgettable experiences for kids and families across Brisbane and surrounding suburbs. Our passionate team of entertainers delivers joy and excitement at thousands of events each year, from birthday parties to large-scale corporate functions — and now, Christmas celebrations!

What you'll actually be doing This is an exciting job to learn and an incredibly rewarding one to be good at: suit up, stay in character, and leave a trail of delighted kids behind you.

• Bring the magic of Santa Claus to life through warmth, authenticity, and festive spirit.
• Interact with children and families — spreading cheer, taking photos, and listening to Christmas wishes.
• Maintain the magic of the character at all times while providing a safe, fun, and positive experience.
• Work alongside our elves and event staff to ensure smooth, magical performances.
• Attend events punctually, with costume and props ready to go.

You don't need experience – you need personality and a bit of festive spirit! We provide comprehensive training to teach you our Santa format and performance techniques. What we can't teach is natural warmth and a genuine love of making kids smile, so that's what we're after.

That might look like:

• You're a uni student, actor, or performer looking for premium contract work that fits around your timetable or auditions.
• You're a natural entertainer who is always the "life of the party" and loves stepping into a role or hosting crowds.
• You've worked in hospitality, retail, or customer-facing roles and pride yourself on your stellar people skills.
• You've worked in childcare and know exactly how to hold a room full of six-year-olds.
• You want a fun, festive side hustle that fits around your weekends and December availability.

What we're looking for

• A joyful personality and a love for making kids smile.
• Comfortable performing in costume and staying in character, no matter Brisbane's summer warmth!
• Previous entertainment or acting experience is a plus, but not essential — we'll provide full training.
• Great communication and people skills, especially with children.
• Reliable, punctual, and professional.
• A reliable car and current driver's licence to transport yourself, your costume, and equipment to events (or genuine willingness to travel).
• A valid Working with Children Check, or willingness to obtain one.
• Availability on weekends, with December weekday availability highly regarded.

Why AmazingCo

• Be part of Australia's leading entertainment team.
• Seasonal, flexible weekend and weekday shifts throughout November and December.
• Competitive pay: starting from $70–$100 for the first hour, plus travel and costume allowances.
• All training and materials provided — just bring your festive spirit!
• A truly rewarding role bringing joy to kids and families at Christmas time.
