Glendale hiring now for lifeguards, other summer jobs

Posted

The city of Glendale’s public facilities, recreation and special events department is in search of its summer squad as they prepare to fully staff the city’s pools.

As the city prepares for the triple-digit heat later this year, recruitment is already underway for staff members to join the team. Positions include pool cashier ($15 per hour), lifeguard ($25), swim instructor ($26), head guard ($26.50), assistant pool manager ($27) and pool manager ($28).

“Since the very beginning of COVID, there has been a lifeguard shortage nationally,” Glendale Senior Recreation Coordinator Dean Kinnoin shared in a statement. “Because of this, we have struggled to fully open our aquatic centers. With this aggressive approach, we now have the ability to offer competitive wages to get the best of the best, in hopes we can open both of our aquatic centers simultaneously for the entirety of the summer season.”

Prior to applying for a position, all applicants must register for the course respective to the position for which they are applying. Click here to view and register for the courses.

Certification classes have already begun and must be completed during the scheduled class times. The city’s lifeguard training courses last for one full week, and are available the weeks of Feb. 25, March 12, March 18 and April 1.

Currently the only Water Safety Instructor Course will be taught on April 8.
