City of Geelong advertises aquatic facility jobs

With its peak summer season approaching and set to open is seasonal Lara Aquatic Centre, the City of Greater Geelong has advertised a series of roles across its seven aquatic centres.

Employment opportunities exist at all of the city’s indoor aquatic and recreation facilities - Leisurelink and Splashdown in addition to the already open outdoor pools at Kardinia Aquatic Centre.

In addition, the refurbished North Bellarine Aquatic Centre and the Lara Aquatic Centre will each open on Wednesday 1st November.

The council has also begun recruitment for key roles in preparation for its brand new $65 million facility, Northern Aquatic Community Hub, which is due to open early next year.

Roles on offer include aquatic team leaders, shift supervisors, learn to swim instructors and lifeguards, while the 2024 opening of the Northern Aquatic Community Hub will require the employment of an aquatics manager (2IC) and aquatics operations coordinator.

In addition, the City will have the Centre Manager roles at both Splashdown and the Northern Bellarine Aquatic Centre going live for recruitment in coming weeks.

Encouraging those seeking employment in the aquatic and recreation sector to apply, Greater Geelong Mayor, Trent Sullivan stated “this is an exciting time across our region with our seasonal extended opening hours at two of our outdoor pools meaning increased opportunities for work in numerous areas.

“These jobs, along with many others connected to our fabulous new facilities opening up in Drysdale and Norlane, will provide a wide range of casual, part and full-time positions.”

Deputy Mayor Anthony Aitken also urged community members to consider where they might find the right role working at one of the centres, adding “the City’s Leisure and Recreation space offers openings for people of all ages and stages of life.

“From students looking for summer holiday jobs, those looking to build a full-time career in the recreation industry through to older community members planning to scale back their work commitments, there’s a wide variety of roles on offer.”
