Clients return to work at Legoland® Windsor Resort
Debra Burnett • July 13, 2021
Happy faces all round
There will be many local children and families we are sure, that will be very happy indeed that the LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort has now reopened after such a long period of closure due to Covid. Ways into Work has been working with Legoland Windsor for over 12 years supporting many clients into paid positions there and several of these clients return to the park year after year when it re-opens every spring.
It was really lovely to see our clients’ happy faces as they were finally able to return to work – 21 of them working in a variety of roles in food and beverage, admissions and ground operatives. Most notably, in fact one client has been employed there for 11 years – there’s employee loyalty for you!
As usual some of our Job Coaches will be popping in to make sure all is running smoothly, often vying for the opportunity to do so – it’s such a lovely place to visit.
