CITY OF SUNNYVALE, CA
Sunnyvale, California, United States
Description RECREATION SERVICES COORDINATOR I/II Regular Full Time Employment Opportunity The job posting opens on Thursday, June 1, 2023, and the final filing date is Thursday, June 22, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. or after receiving 100 qualified and complete applications, whichever is first. City of Sunnyvale is recruiting for an energetic, creative, and passionate Recreation Services Coordinator (Afterschool and Camps). The Library and Recreation Services Department inspires a healthy community by fostering lifelong learning and play through progressive services and programs for all. Join a team that works in a fast-paced and diverse community as we work towards building a fun, inclusive and engaged community. If you are seeking to provide services that are inclusive, compassionate, creative and are a curious, dedicated individual then you are an ideal candidate for this position. Recreation Services Coordinators are responsible for development and implementation of dynamic recreation programs that support the Library and Recreation Services Department's Mission Statement. Based on qualifications, fit and applicant's interest, successful candidates will be placed in the Youth and Teens Unit. Depending on the applicant qualifications, the position will be filled at the appropriate level/salary of either: Recreation Services Coordinator I: $38.03 - $48.54 Recreation Services Coordinator II: $44.03 - $56.20 The list established from this recruitment may be used to fill future Recreation Services Coordinator I/II vacancies within the Department. DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS Recreation Services Coordinator I is the entry-level classification for this job series. Initially, incumbents perform assigned duties under general supervision, while learning related policies and procedures.

As experience is gained, there is a greater independence of action within established guidelines. The classification is alternately staffed with Recreation Services Coordinator II and incumbents may advance to the higher level after gaining experience and demonstrating a level of proficiency that meets the qualifications of the higher-level classification. Incumbents are not automatically promoted to the higher level; the needs of the department determine the level of assignment. Recreation Services Coordinator II is an experienced journey-level classification in the series. Incumbents are expected to independently perform the full scope of duties associated with planning and coordinating recreation, arts and community services programs under direction. Recreation Services Coordinator II is distinguished from the higher-level classification of Recreation Services Manager in that the Recreation Services Manager has full supervisory and management responsibility for professional and support staff, budget, and program administration. Positions in this class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the I level once the incumbent meets the qualification standards of the II level, demonstrates an ability to perform the full scope of work, and meets performance expectations. Essential Job Functions (May include, but are not limited to, the following): Plans, coordinates, monitors, leads and directs programs, services and facilities in specific and defined program areas.
