Scare Team

Introduction to Event and Role

Our Trail of Terror event gets bigger and better every year with screams and laughter at every turn. Are you prepared to make those visiting scared… Not only is it a great chance to experience working an event at CZS but it’s also a great opportunity to meet new people and join a special team whilst having fun. This event is produced by CZS staff and many staff are part of the Scare Team.

By joining the Scare Team, you will be responsible for scaring people to their core, on one of our four themed sections: the Zombie Outbreak, The Swamps of New Orleans, Scary Movies or the Freaky Circus. All of the roles are energetic roles where you will need to scare and then reset, ready for the next group of visitors. We require enthusiasm and dedication to each role to provide an amazing experience for all our visitors.

In addition to scaring, we are also looking for talented Make-up Artists who enjoy transforming others into creatures of the night or scary clowns. This will be a great opportunity to practice your skills and be inventive with creative design. This is a fast-paced role, where you will be expected to create your master pieces as quickly as possible (10-20 people in 1hr approx.) Are you up for the challenge and looking for the opportunity to add to your portfolio?!
