Job Specifics
Duties Description Plans and coordinates organized discretionary time activities for incarcerated individuals in a prison setting. Incumbent develops, implements and directs a comprehensive recreational program of athletic/non-athletic activities and works under the supervision of the Recreational Program Leader 3.
Minimum Qualifications This title is part of the New York Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide Program (NY HELPS).
For the duration of the NY HELPS Program, this title maybe filled via a non-competitive appointment, which means no examination is required but all candidates must meet the minimum qualifications of the title for which they apply. At this time, agencies may recruit and hire employees by making temporary appointments. In May 2024, if a temporary NY HELPS employee is satisfactorily performing in the position, the appointment will be
changed from temporary pending Civil Service Commission Action to permanent non-competitive and the official probationary period will begin.
At a future date (within one year of permanent appointment), it is expected employees hired under NY HELPS will have their non-competitive employment status converted to competitive status, without having to compete in an examination. Employees will then be afforded with all of the same rights and privileges of competitive class employees of New York State. While serving permanently in a NY HELPS title, employees may take part in any promotion examination for which they are qualified.
Must have:
1. An associate's degree in physical education, recreation, recreational therapy, or a closely related recreational field* AND two years of experience directing or assisting in the direction of a scheduled, organized recreational program;
Or 2. An associate's degree AND three years of experience as described in #1
Or 3. a bachelor's degree or higher in physical education, recreation, recreational therapy, or a closely related recreational field*
Or 4. a bachelor's degree or higher AND one year of experience as described in #1
Or 5. four years of experience as described in #1.
*Qualifying closely related recreational field degrees are: athletic training, exercise science, kinesiology (athletic training), kinesiology (physical education), kinesiology (sports management), movement and science, health and wellness (fitness/exercise), recreation and leisure studies, recreation education, recreation management, sports management, sports medicine, sports studies, or therapeutic recreation.
Some positions may require additional credentials or a background check to verify your identity.
