We require Casual Summer Staff for the paddling pool season.

As Casual Summer Staff you will cover paddling pool sessions up to 6 days a week. Weekend working is essential, and weekend only work may be available. The working hours are between 9am -10am – 5pm – 6pm with a lunch break.

We require some staff to commence Monday 22 June for the Splash Parks, increasing staff numbers with Paddling Pools from Monday 13 July (this may be a staggered start to incorporate training). You will be required to attend training and induction days prior to this date. The paddling pool season will end on Monday 31 August 2026, with the last working day being Tuesday 1 September 2026.

Please note - as casual staff you will not be paid if the pools are closed for any reason.
