Looking for a varied, community-focused role that combines outdoor work with public safety and customer service? The Urban Services Operator / Pool Attendant is a unique dual-role position that provides year-round support to the Baradine / Coolah / Dunedoo communities.
During the swimming season, you'll be at the heart of pool operations — ensuring a safe, enjoyable and welcoming environment for all patrons. You'll provide vigilant supervision of patrons, enforce pool rules, respond calmly to emergencies, and deliver friendly customer service. You'll also assist with water quality testing, basic plant operations, cleaning and presentation of facilities, and support community programs and events.
During the off-season, you'll transition into an Urban Services Operator role, working outdoors to maintain parks, gardens, recreational areas and community facilities. This includes mowing, gardening, minor repairs, operating small plant and equipment, cleaning public amenities and assisting with maintenance programs.
This role suits a reliable, adaptable and safety-conscious person who enjoys variety, teamwork and serving the community. A valid driver's licence, White Card, willingness to obtain relevant certifications (such as chainsaw operation, chemical application, pool lifeguard qualifications, Working with Children Check and first aid), and willingness to participate in a roster for weekend overtime cleaning public toilets are essential.
If you're looking for meaningful local work with real community impact, this could be the perfect fit.
