The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is hiring temporary workers to help fill the schedule in April and May. The deadline to apply is March 13.
Spring and early summer are typically busy months for amusement parks and attractions, yet many students are not available to work.
The company aims to hire 65 employees to work six-hour shifts on specific dates in April and May for the program. Pay is $13 – $13.50 per hour for positions in food service and ride operations.
Employees who work 15 days in April and May will receive six Boardwalk season passes valued at $500 and 10 ride wristbands valued at $240 to share with family and friends.
Marq Lipton, the Boardwalk’s vice president of marketing, described the parks when he spoke to members of the Aptos Chamber of Commerce in February about two new family-oriented rides, Lighthouse Lift-Off and a slide.
Boardwalk staff say the Work & Play Program was an instant success when it was introduced last year.
“Our Work & Play employees enjoy the fun of working at the beach for just a few weeks,” said Boardwalk Employment Manager Carol Siegel. “Last year our Work & Play employees included a retired physician who always wanted to work at an amusement park, a retired financial advisor who wanted season passes for his family, a retired couple from the Central Valley who love the Boardwalk, and a local bride-to-be who wanted to thank her bridal party with Boardwalk passes.”
