Job Description
The City of Greensboro is a vibrant municipal government dedicated to enhancing the lives of its residents through inclusive and high-quality public services. Known for its commitment to community development, Greensboro fosters a welcoming and engaged environment for all its citizens. The Parks and Recreation Department plays a crucial role in this mission, celebrated as a four-time National Gold Medal Award-winning agency. It is dedicated to creating a healthy, equitable park system that connects communities and offers a wide range of recreational opportunities and programming. The department prides itself on its integrity, stewardship, and respect, making it a leader in the field and a great place to begin or grow a career in public service and recreation.
This particular role is for a Center Coordinator at Griffin Recreation Center, a key community hub within the City of Greensboro's network of facilities. This part-time, temporary position offers an hourly wage of $17.21 and the chance to work 8 to 20 hours per week with a flexible schedule spread across mornings, evenings, weekdays, and Saturdays.

The position is designed for those passionate about public service, looking to develop professionally in a supportive, nationally recognized department, and eager to contribute positively to community life.
As the Center Coordinator, you will be instrumental in the day-to-day management and smooth operation of the Griffin Recreation Center. Reporting directly to the Center Supervisor, your responsibilities will center on providing outstanding customer service, managing the facility's activities, and ensuring programs and classes run effectively.

This includes handling set-up and breakdown for events, maintaining cleanliness throughout the facility, and maintaining accurate records of registrations, attendance, fees, and deposits.
The role is ideal for individuals who thrive in dynamic environments, have strong organizational and communication skills, and enjoy working directly with the community. You will play a front-line role in representing the Griffin Recreation Center, answering inquiries about offerings and services, coordinating facility usage, and supporting a team committed to enhancing Greensboro's quality of life through recreational and social programs. This position requires flexibility, reliability, and a customer-focused approach, as it involves working various shifts and some weekend hours. Importantly, the job is classified as non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), ensuring adherence to federal labor regulations.
