The posting

Turn Free Time Into Something to Look Forward To

A night out. A fitness class. A community event. A dance with friends. Trying something completely new.

The Arc of Ocean County is seeking Part-Time Community Activities Assistants to help adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities enjoy an active, social, and engaging recreational experience.

You'll be part of the team that helps make activities happen—from preparing for events and accompanying individuals on community outings to encouraging someone to join a group, try a new hobby, or become more involved in their community.

If you're energetic, dependable, and enjoy being around people, this is a flexible part-time opportunity where no two activities have to feel the same.

Your Schedule & Pay

Employment Type: Part-Time Schedule: Flexible evening and weekend hours based on program needs Weekend Availability: Weekend daytime availability required Pay: $20.70–$24.70 per hour Pay Schedule: Bi-weekly

What Could Your Shift Look Like?

Depending on the recreation calendar, you could spend your time helping with a community outing, preparing for a seasonal event, participating in a fitness activity, supporting a cooking group, or helping individuals enjoy an evening dance.

Your responsibilities will include:

Get People Involved

  • Support individuals as they participate in recreational programs, social activities, and experiences throughout Ocean County.
  • Help facilitate fitness classes, arts and crafts, cooking groups, dances, seasonal celebrations, volunteer opportunities, and other activities.
  • Encourage individuals to try different experiences and discover activities that match their interests and preferences.
  • Recognize individual accomplishments and help make participation enjoyable and meaningful.

Help People Get Out Into Their Community

  • Accompany individuals during community outings, events, and recreational opportunities.
  • Encourage greater confidence and independence while participating in community life.
  • Safely transport participants using agency vehicles when assigned.
  • Help individuals work toward personal and recreational goals through active participation and encouragement.

Create a Positive Social Experience

  • Encourage conversation, friendship, and positive interaction among participants.
  • Model respectful and encouraging social behavior.
  • Provide patient, person-centered support while respecting individual preferences and choices.
  • Help create an atmosphere where participants feel welcomed and included.

Make Each Activity Run Smoothly

  • Provide appropriate supervision and support during programs, events, and community outings.
  • Prepare activity areas and assist with event setup and recreation program needs.
  • Help maintain safe, organized, and welcoming activity environments.
  • Communicate participant accomplishments, needs, and concerns with supervisors and recreation team members.
  • Collaborate with other Recreation Assistants and share ideas for new or expanded recreational opportunities.

Recreation With a Bigger Purpose

The activity itself is only part of the experience.

Recreation can give someone an opportunity to make a friend, become more comfortable in the community, discover something they enjoy, or make their own choices about how they want to spend their free time.

As a Community Activities Assistant, you'll help make those opportunities possible while having the chance to participate in a wide variety of programs and events yourself.

What You'll Gain

  • Flexible Part-Time Schedule
  • Paid On-the-Job Training
  • Valuable Human Services Experience
  • Supportive Team Environment
  • Opportunities for Future Career Growth Within The Arc of Ocean County

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
