Seaton Jurassic recruitment day
A major new visitor attraction is planning to begin the job of recruiting its staff at a special recruitment open day being held in Seaton on Saturday 5th December.
The final phases of work are currently being made at the Seaton Jurassic visitor centre before its opening in spring 2016. The new visitor attraction, which is on Seaton’s Underfleet, will include both indoor and outdoor interpretation spaces as well as a café and retail area.
