Before you sit down in front of your computer, bear in mind that your application is the first impression we will get of you. If you make an effort with your application, you will have a much better chance of joining our team.

Write a clear application, and try to keep it to one page as far as possible.

Tell us briefly why you’re the right person for this particular job.

Create a strong, logical connection between your experience and qualifications, and the duties and requirements specified in the job advertisement.

Always attach your CV – and make sure it is clearly laid out. A good CV contains all your personal information: name, address, telephone number, etc. Then you should write about your education and your experience, divided up into your previous jobs with the most recent at the top.

If you have any questions about the job advertisement, call the contact person in the advertisement. There is no reason to make a mistake with your application due to a small misunderstanding, when you could have cleared the matter up in a few minutes on the phone.

If you have any questions, please feel free to write to the HR department in Billund HR-Billund@lalandia.dk or in Rødby HR@lalandia.dk

We primarily recruit via vacancy postings on our website, where you can submit an application. Once you have submitted an application via the website, you will receive a confirmation from us. We will read the applications and select those candidates we find to be of interest in relation to our requirements &ndash we will then call them in for an interview. If you aren’t called right away, do not be discouraged – we will keep your application in the job bank for up to 3 months.

Once a year, typically in January – we hold our job day in Billund, where you can come and meet some of the staff from the departments that are looking for new employees.

If you cannot see any vacancies that suit you, you are welcome to send a speculative application. You can apply to us speculatively by applying for either the “speculative hourly rate” or “speculative administration” vacancies. Your application will then remain in our job bank for 3 months, and during this period if we need an employee with your qualifications, we will contact you. If you would like continue to be registered in the job bank after the 3 months, you will need to apply again.

Good luck with your job application.

We are all hosts to our guests

As an employee of Lalandia, you will have 400-500 colleagues. All employees work to be good hosts and give our guests unforgettable experiences to take home from their stay at Lalandia. We have many employees in job functions involving direct contact with customers. But we also have many employees ”behind the scenes”, and we usually say ”if you are not in the process of helping a guest, then you are probably in the process of helping an employee who is helping a guest”.

So no matter what job you have, there is a great deal of focus on being a host at Lalandia, and it should be just as natural for a cleaner and a chef to smile, be helpful and show interest in the guests, as it should be for a waiter and a receptionist. We want all employees, regardless of job function, to act in accordance with the following sentence: ”The employee closest to the guest at any given time is the host”.

Our major focus on being good hosts and giving our guests great experiences is also something that affects the mood among employees. Because making other people happy makes us all happy. At the same time, it is worth noting that our guests come here on holiday, on weekend stays, etc., so it is something that customers have been looking forward to and value. So the joy that our guests arrive with is also something that rubs off on our employees.

A job at Lalandia can be demanding at times, and you can be very busy, but at the same time it is fun and varied. When you do whatever you can to make a guest happy, you get so much back from guests both young and old, it is always worthwhile!

We offer various staff benefits at Lalandia. This includes free admission to the Aquadome and great discounts in the shops.
