An excellent fit for organised and proactive candidates seeking to support fitness and recreation initiatives, with a regular schedule, union protection, and career growth potential.
The Program Assistant position offers a regular, full-time role in fitness and recreation. This job comes with a unionized salary structure, job security, and benefits. Candidates will enjoy consistent hours with flexibility required only for occasional events. This role is ideal for those holding a diploma in Fitness, Health, or Business, and strong organizational skills are highly valued.
Daily Responsibilities and Workflow
Program Assistants will manage data entry for more than 325 programs in online systems and ensure accuracy for all schedules, descriptions, and locations. Routine tasks involve coordinating facility bookings, resolving conflicts, and updating the website and registration systems. Assistants will work with marketing teams, facilitate promotional efforts, and help collect feedback through satisfaction surveys. Additional responsibilities include producing and adapting marketing materials if necessary, and actively supporting open house and recruitment booths. High computer competency, effective communication, and attention to detail are absolutely required to excel in this role.
Strong Points of the Position
One major highlight is the opportunity to play a vital role in wellness initiatives benefitting a wide student and member community. The regular weekday schedule, with minimal evening and weekend duties, allows for a healthy work-life balance. Additionally, union representation (USW Local 4120) ensures good working conditions, predictable wage increases, and job security. Working in a vibrant, inclusive community also fosters professional growth and personal fulfilment. This is an excellent platform for anyone building a career in recreation, administration, or fitness program management.
חסרונות פוטנציאליים
The work can be highly detail-oriented and involves repetitive data management, which may not appeal to those seeking dynamic, hands-on roles. At times, event support outside regular hours is required, leading to occasional evening or weekend work. The need to coordinate between various departments may result in occasional workload surges, especially at peak times in the academic calendar. Lastly, a candidate without a background in recreation software or website maintenance may need extra training.
פסק דין סופי
The Program Assistant position is well suited for proactive individuals ready to support a thriving recreation community. A combination of structure, exposure to wellness initiatives, and supportive workplace policies make this a rewarding and stable employment opportunity for those who meet its requirements.
