Town rec seeks employees

Lewiston Porter Sentinel, April 5, 2008

Town of Lewiston job seekers, listen up!

Spring is here and summer’s just around the corner. With that in mind the Town of Lewiston Parks and Recreation Department reports the “help wanted” sign is now out for summer workers in the town. According to Director Mike Dashineau, applications are now being accepted for part-time seasonal employment and the town is looking for qualified workers. “Work as a recreational aide is a great way to spend the summer working outdoors and with children,” says Dashineau. “The recreation aide position is also a great way for college students who are eying a career in the fields of social work, education, sports management or childhood psychology to begin their careers. Applicants with a background in these fields, as well as applicants with a sports background, will be strong candidates for these positions.”

All applicants must be Lewiston residents age 18, or 17 years old with additional qualifications. Applicants must have a clean driver’s license, and be able to drive to any of the town’s five staffed parks. Sanborn and Colonial Village area residents are strongly advised to apply.

Dashineau reports the Town Parks Department is also looking for seasonal laborers to maintain the town’s seven parks and various properties. Applicants must be Lewiston residents, at least 18 years of age, and be physically fit to handle the demands of the position. A background in lawn maintenance or landscaping is preferred.

He adds that area seniors or those with a green thumb are also encouraged to apply, as the town maintains various gardens that need “a green-thumbed touch.” The positions range from part time to full time and begin at the first sign of spring.
