Lexington’s division of Parks & Recreation is hosting a job fair from 4 – 7 p.m. at Artworks at the Carver School on Tuesday, April 25. The event will allow anyone interested to learn more about positions currently available, including ones in Aquatics, Athletics, Camps, Community Centers, Cultural Arts, Extended School Program (ESP), Maintenance, Special Events, Summer Programs, and Therapeutic Recreation – and even do on-site interviews.
“We’re getting ready for another amazing summer here at Lexington Parks & Recreation,” said Paul Hooper, Information Office Supervisor for Parks & Recreation. “This job fair is the perfect opportunity for people to find out more about the positions we have available and join our team as we present our many camps, programs, and events at parks and facilities across the city. With so many different departments and positions, there is sure to be many exciting job opportunities, no matter your interest.”
The Job Fair will showcase tables and staff from each of the hiring areas, who will be able to answer any questions and explain more about available positions. Attendees should be prepared for on-site interviews if they would like to apply for a job being offered. All positions with Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government have a minimum wage of $15 per hour.
“We are proud to offer competitive pay for jobs across all of Parks & Recreation,” said Laura Hatfield, Superintendent of Community Engagement for Parks & Recreation. “These positions are great for people to use to supplement their regular income or for a teacher to pick up a fun summer job between school years. It’s important they know they are a valued member of our team and a critical part of presenting what we offer. The primary focus of our events, programs, and facilities is to serve the community, and we take pride in having a wonderful team that helps us meet and exceed that goal.”
Positions range from staff that will be assisting with programs, camps, and events to maintenance crew that are vital to maintaining the City’s over 100 parks, keeping them beautiful and safe for visitors to enjoy.
Local food truck, Daughter’s Southern, will be available for people to enjoy a bite before or after their visit. For more information about the Lexington Parks & Recreation Job Fair, interested people can visit lexingtonky.gov/PRJobs or call (859) 288-2900.
