THE SKATESIDE is hiring dependable, responsible Youth Roller Skating Coaches for our children's programs throughout Los Angeles.
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.
This is not a position where you simply roller skate alongside kids.
Our coaches teach structured lessons, demonstrate skills, manage groups, maintain safety, communicate professionally with parents and school staff, and help children build confidence.
Basic roller skating proficiency is required, but you do not need to be an advanced or competitive roller skater.
We're more interested in finding someone who is mature, dependable, great with kids, and comfortable teaching basic roller skating skills.
Culver City Santa Monica Coaches may be assigned to one or both areas based on availability and program needs. Reliable transportation is required.
