THE SKATESIDE | Los Angeles Area
Starting at $20/hour | Approximately 3–10 hours/week
THE SKATESIDE is hiring dependable, responsible Youth Roller Skating Coaches for our children's programs throughout Los Angeles.
Typical school-year programs run Monday–Friday between approximately 2:00–5:00 PM, with most individual shifts lasting 1.5–2 hours. Additional hours may be available through camps, weekend programs, private lessons, and special events.
You don't need to work every weekday. You choose the days that consistently work for you. However, once you accept a recurring program, we count on you to be there every week for the duration of that program.
