E-mail at: MargaretSc@westhartford.org Filing Date: Open until filled. Programs begin in September. Web site at www.westmoorpark.org The job is seasonal in nature and we are looking for people who can be flexible in their schedules. Westmoor Park runs programming year round but it has seasonal highs and lows. During the spring and fall the park can offer instructors 30 or more hours a week. For instructors that teach during summer camp it is usually 40 or more hours per week. During the winter the demand for programs drops off and it might be 20 hours or less per week. Many of our programs during the spring and fall are for school groups so they are during the school day, but the park is also looking for instructors who can do after school programs for children one or two days a week and some family programs on the weekends. |
