There’s still time to join the team at Bend Park and Recreation District (BPRD) before the busy summer season. The district is hosting a hiring event and invites potential team members to learn more about job opportunities.
The hiring event is Tuesday, April 26, 4pm to 6:30pm at the Bend Park & Recreation District office at 799 SW Columbia Street in Bend. Attendees can learn about positions, complete applications and participate in on-site interviews.
BPRD will make job offers on the spot and is providing a thank you to each interviewed applicant — a free BPRD recreation center one-visit pass good for swimming, fitness classes and/or skating.
Currently there are 19 employees working at BPRD who were hired from an early March hiring event. The goal is to fill the rest of summer positions at the April 26 event.
