We're Hiring!

•  The Village of Sussex is looking for an experienced Dance Teacher to teach ages 3-12 in ballet and tap (additional dance styles are also welcome), with experience in instruction, choreography and class curriculum/management. The ideal candidate has a passion for dance displayed by pursing or obtaining a dance degree or through years of experience participating in a dance program. Classes are typically held in the evenings during the week with 4-5 classes per night, but we will be flexible for the right candidate. Classes run September-March, with our recital held mid-March. Wage: $12-$15 per hour, DOQ.

• Interested in a flexible, part-time job? The Village seeks several Site Supervisors to work a flexible schedule primarily on the weekends. Site supervisors provide onsite support and customer service to renters at the Civic Center. There is no set schedule or minimum number of hours this position must work, but the hope is that each Site Supervisor will work at least one event per month. Shifts are offered as they become available.
