The City of Upper Arlington is beckoning job seekers and community servants alike, with seasonal and part-time job offerings ripe for the picking. According to the City of Upper Arlington's announcement, the Parks & Recreation Department has more than 300 temporary positions to be filled in anticipation of summer. These roles range from lifeguards and summer day camp leaders to tennis facility operations and park services workers, promising competitive wages and the chance to nab some first-aid and CPR certifications.
Students fresh out of high school or returning from college to a summer at home can dip their toes in the workforce. The City also extends an invitation to adults and retirees who may pine for an extra source of income or the will to serve. The seasonal roles, including managing outdoor pools and offices and attending to public recreational facilities' needs, claim to not only pad wallets but also provide free training that ends up gifting indispensable resume enhancements to those on duty.
Indeed, the benefits of these posts speak to a broader investment in the workforce, manifesting in the form of perks like OPERS Retirement participation and premium holiday pay. Posited as invaluable, the skill development opportunities are also touted for those keen on building leadership and supervisory skills within a "fun, rewarding, recreational work environment." According to the City of Upper Arlington.
Meanwhile, the impending Spring opening of the Bob Crane Community Center is seeding around 120 part-time roles into the local economy. As reported, positions vary widely, including attendants, lifeguards, shift leads, managers, and facility coordinators. The City advertises a variety of positions that come with benefits such as paid training, discounts on Community Center membership, and flexible hours that cater to the diverse schedules of prospective employees.
It's a bullish move for the City, which appears ready to forthrightly engage college students during their winter break about these upcoming roles. If one's interest has been piqued, videos and application submissions can be completed online. These offerings construct a narrative of a community center not merely as a place of leisure and fitness but as an epicenter for local economic and personal growth as it prepares to open its doors to Upper Arlington.
