Rye Recreation- Creating Community through People, Parks, & Programs
We take the role of our staff very seriously and are looking for those who will do the same. The safety and enjoyment of our community members is of utmost importance to us. If you like to work in a solo work environment, quick at making decisions and judgment calls, like to talk to people, enjoy the outdoors, can be depended upon, and strive to do the best in everything you do, then you may be the candidate we are looking for. We are interested in quality staff members who approach their work in a professional manner while having fun doing so.
Rye Recreation is searching for part-time candidates who can help monitor & maintain our tennis courts, skate park, and facility at our two park locations. Tennis season runs from early April-early November. There's also opportunity for Winter hours working our special events and Winter programs.
