Greene County’s three public pools are in need of qualified individuals to work as lifeguards during the summer swimming season.
Candidates must be at least 16 years of age and possess current lifeguard certification issued by an authorized organization, or be able to attend and pass courses in professional lifeguarding, first-aid, CPR/AED training and required background checks.
A Lifeguard Certification course will be offered, as well as a Water Safety Instructor course, for those who want to teach swim lessons. The Water Safety Instructor certification is also needed for lifeguards seeking more hours of work and more hourly pay.
Lifeguards hired for the summer will need to attend a mandatory training session, which will be scheduled prior to the start of the swim season during Memorial Day weekend.
Carmichaels Pool in Carmichaels, Greene County Water Park in Waynesburg, and Mon View Pool in Greensboro are scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend. Hours are subject to change due to staff availability or inclement weather.
The Department of Recreation attempts to assign lifeguards to the pool that is closest to their residence; however, that cannot be guaranteed as lifeguards are needed at all three pools throughout the summer, and there is a chance that lifeguards will be moved.
To sign up for the lifeguard and/or water safety instructor course, call the Department of Recreation at 724-852-5323.
There are also other jobs available for the summer in the county, including: Concession Worker, Counselor and Supervisor for the county Day Camp, Guest Relations, Laborer (for the county maintenance and recreation departments, where those hired may be sent to work on the county trail, fairgrounds, airport, tennis courts, pools and parks) and Night Watchmen.
Internships are also available in various county departments for the summer season.
