Seasonal work can be your stepping stone to a new career
Our sports services live with the seasons, which is why many of our jobs are seasonal. The jobs of permanent employees may also change during the summer and winter seasons.
Sports services recruits seasonal workers twice a year. Our most significant recruitment drive takes place in February, when we seek more than a hundred summer and seasonal workers for different lengths of employment. Summer jobs can begin as early as May and last well into the autumn. We offer unforgettable seasonal jobs in unique locations: ball fields, sports parks, recreation islands, outdoor swimming pools, beaches and campgrounds.
Many of our current employees started their careers with us through summer or seasonal work when their interest took them there. We support development at work and encourage training to diversify your professional skills.
