JOB

Experience the natural beauty of Washington State Parks and get paid to do it!

Temporary Washington State Park Aide jobs are perfect for:

People who like to get outside and enjoy nature, do physical work, and contribute to a truly important mission - maintaining a fantastic Parks system for everyone!
Individuals who are interested in a longer-term career with State Parks. Many permanent staff, including members of our executive team, started their careers as Park Aides.
Students who are looking for summer work.
Active retirees looking for work that keeps them moving and doing good in the world. Less than full-time work is a possibility in many locations.

Some benefits you might not know or be thinking about:

Temporary positions are eligible for vacation and sick leave.
Holiday pay might be available to you depending on when and how long you work.
Great teammates who care about their work.
Learning and refining a set of very practical and transferrable job skills.
Being in nature is good for your physical and mental well-being.
Wildlife sightings! From chipmunks and quail, to orcas and moose, and everything in between.

Park Aide jobs can be fun, fulfilling and career starters, but there are a few important things to consider:

Weekend work is expected, and you might be asked to work evening shifts.
Our Parks are busiest on spring and summer holidays, so we need more of our workers to be on schedule those days. Getting time off around a holiday is not guaranteed.
Bathroom cleaning is a task that most Park Aides get to experience fairly regularly.
Most positions are at least moderately physical – walking, raking, bending, kneeling, lifting and moving lighter items (and heavier ones with assistance). If that is not appropriate for you, but you are still interested, read the announcement carefully to determine if there might be a position dedicated to less physical work at the park(s) you are interested in.

___________________________

Park housing and RV parking are not available for this area.

This recruitment will be used to fill multiple non-permanent Park Aide positions located throughout the Millersylvania Area; Rainbow Falls, Millersylvania and Tolmie State Parks. The majority of positions are available and may begin April, May, or June and generally 3-5 months in duration. The number of vacancies will vary from park to park.

Positions in this area typically are scheduled to work 40 hours a week, but we may have ability to offer less than full-time work – over the entire period of employment or for specific periods. If you are interested in less than 40 hours a week, just let us know in the supplemental questions section of the application process.

This position is not eligible to telework, as physical in-office presence is required to perform essential functions.

Benefits eligibility for this position may be different than what’s listed in the benefits tab of this recruitment announcement, for more information on employee benefits eligibility visit - Public Employee Benefits Board (PEBB)
