Job Description
Full Time, One Year Contract
As a Recreation Leader, you “Take care of Banff” by planning and delivering public recreation programs, youth programs and special events that generate excitement and participation. Working independently, you lead and facilitate youth drop-in programs, youth registered programs, as well as weekly drop-in recreation programs for the public in partner facilities and venues.
Your experience and recreation leadership fosters literacy and engagement in physical activity, life skills, social connections and trusting relationships in youth and adults. You will lead meaningful recreational program activities and complete a wide range of lesson plans to ensure participants are fully engaged and having fun in a safe environment. You understand that it is your inherent responsibility to not only lead quality recreation programs, but you also promote them in efforts to increase participation.
You are an effective communicator, who is “natural” at bringing together and engaging unique groups (particularly youth). You thrive on the dual challenge of blending technical and administrative tasks (e.g., maintaining equipment, allocating operating budgets, tracking, and recording data) with the interpersonal relationships you foster.
