A staff member said Orange County is recruiting people ages 16 and older for seasonal lifeguard positions and roles working with summer-camp children, and that the posted pay rates are above the minimum wage.
The presenter said lifeguard jobs were listed at about $16.88 per hour and summer-camp positions at about $16.80 per hour. "Above the minimum wage," the staff member said, describing the pay as a recruitment point.
The staff member told listeners they can apply online by visiting ocfl.net/job/job and typing "parks" to find those openings and other full-time county positions. "Go online to ocfl.net/job /job and type in parks and it'll pull up that and the other full-time jobs that we have available," the staff member said.
The speaker added an anecdotal remark comparing the pay favorably to earlier county starting wages, which drew laughter. The presenter also emphasized the county is "always hiring" and that training is provided for new hires.
No formal vote, motion, or other board action was recorded in the transcript. The announcement functions as a public recruitment notice; interested applicants should use the county jobs site for current listings and application instructions.
