Aquatic centre jobs available

Employment opportunities exist at the City of Greater Geelong’s aquatic centres.

Greater Geelong residents can explore numerous job opportunities at any of the City’s seven aquatic centres including North Bellarine Aquatic Centre and Lara Aquatic Centre, which will spring into action on Wednesday 1 November.

Employment opportunities also exist at all indoor leisure facilities: Leisurelink and Splashdown in addition to the City’s already open outdoor pools at Kardinia Aquatic Centre.

The City 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.

Some of the 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 role of both Splashdown and the Northern Bellarine Aquatic Centre going live for recruitment in coming weeks.

Greater Geelong Mayor Trent Sullivan encouraged residents seeking employment in the Leisure and Recreation sector to apply.

“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,” he said.

“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 aquatic centres.

“The City’s Leisure and Recreation space offers openings for people of all ages and stages of life,” he said.

“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.”
