Job description
Role Overview
We’re looking for an enthusiastic IT Support Analyst to join our Head Office team.
If you have a background in IT, are eager to learn more, and are looking for a fun environment to do so, this is the role for you! You will be part of our IT team, responsible for supporting the successful delivery of the LaplandUK event through our technology platforms. The role will require you to be able to communicate and work effectively with our business teams and technology partners to deliver in a fast-paced dynamic environment.

Company Overview
LaplandUK is an award-winning immersive and theatrical Christmas experience, offering a tailor-made four hour journey through a secret, magical elven world hidden in an enchanted forest. Putting families at the centre of the storyline, LaplandUK invites you to join a whimsical world where your Small Folk (children) can make a toy with the elves in the Toy Factory, ice gingerbread with Mother Christmas, and of course, meet Father Christmas at his cosy wood-cabin home.
In 2007, when the magical door first opened into LaplandUK, Mike and Alison Battle who were parents to four young boys felt compelled to create a truly magical experience that reflected the value they placed in their children’s fleeting belief in Father Christmas. Fifteen years and a million visitors later the ambition remains the same, the continued success of the business and rapid pace of growth is underpinned by the commitment to support families in savouring and celebrating this most precious moment as they travel through their children’s childhood.
