The City is accepting applications for part-time Inclusive Recreation Specialists to support the Recreation Services Department. This recruitment will be used to fill current vacancies at the Senior Center and also establish an eligible list to fill future positions as they become available.

The Concord Senior Center serves as a recreation and resource hub for older adults from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays. In the evenings, the facility supports rentals and recreation programs, including Inclusive Recreation for adults with developmental disabilities. Program offerings at the center include quarterly dances and regular social gatherings.

Under supervision, Inclusive Recreation Specialists work primarily at the Concord Senior Center, at 2727 Parkside Circle to support the City’s Inclusive Adult Recreation Program. This position will assist with organizing, modifying and leading recreational activities and events for adults with physical and developmental disabilities. This position also facilitates the participation of the individual(s) with a disability so that participants can engage in recreational activities in a safe, supportive, and socially enriching environment.

The Inclusive Recreation Specialist II is distinguished from the Inclusive Recreation Specialist I in that the Inclusive Recreation Specialist II performs duties independently.

All positions are part time, limited service and must be able to work afternoons, evenings and weekends. Tuesday afternoons 3pm – 6pm are mandatory to support current programming. Hours and schedule may vary depending on programming needs.

If you receive a conditional job offer, you will be fingerprinted, and your fingerprints will be sent to the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The resulting report of your conviction history (if any) will be used to determine whether the nature of your conviction conflicts with the specific duties and responsibilities of the job for which you have received a conditional job offer.

If a conflict exists, you will be asked to present any evidence of rehabilitation that may mitigate the conflict, except when federal or state regulations bar employment in specific circumstances. Having a conviction history does not automatically preclude you from a job with the City of Concord.
