Westchester To Hold Virtual Job Fair For Playland

RYE, NY — While the county waits for guidance from New York State whether amusement parks will be allowed to reopen this summer, Westchester is going to begin the process of staffing Playland Park in Rye.

The Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation is preparing to hold a virtual job fair later in February.

County Executive George Latimer said the virtual job fair is an innovative way to get ready for the summer.

"Although we do not know definitively that we will be opening Playland Park this summer, we want to be prepared," he said.

Playland is looking for qualified candidates to fill cashier, ride operator, lifeguard, EMT, painter, carpenter, operations supervisor, clerical/intern, custodial and maintenance roles, according to a news release.

Wages state at $14 per hour.

Candidates will have the opportunity to view video descriptions and job specs. Then they can apply to their top three job choices.

Qualified candidates will be contacted to schedule virtual interviews. The first round of interviews will be held Saturday, Feb. 20 and Sunday, Feb. 21.

The job board can be accessed through this link.

Playland's job fairs have, in the past, been held at the Westchester County Center. The site is now being used for dispensing the coronavirus vaccine.
