Affected positions include:
ï¾ Lifeguards
ï¾ Fitness Instructors
ï¾ Group Fitness Instructors
ï¾ Specialist Tutors
ï¾ Learn to Swim Tutors
ï¾ Administration Support Staff
ï¾ Team Leaders/Coordinators for Aquatics, Operations, Programmes & Activities, Health & Fitness, Stadia, Customer Services, Recreation & Group Fitness

The Council is asking leisure industry employers to consider 'ring-fencing' your employment opportunities and to consider providing Christchurch City Council Recreation and Sport staff first option on any vacancies you may have.
While you wouldn't be compelled to offer them roles, it would give them the opportunity to apply and be considered prior to advertising wider.
