What are the responsibilities and job description for the Ice Skating Instructor position at City of Shoreview?
The City of Shoreview is looking for motivated, high-energy individuals to provide quality instruction for our in-house recreational learn-to-skate program. We provide paid training, clear lesson plans, and mentorship from day one. No prior instruction experience needed!
Our program is designed to teach first-time to intermediate level skaters in a fun, safe, and welcoming environment. We offer progression-based classes for skaters ranging ages 4 & up, which focus on developing and improving the fundamental skills of skating. Classes are 30 minutes in length and run on Saturdays between 8 - 9:40am. Seasonal sessions are scheduled for seven weeks each throughout the fall (Oct-Dec) and winter (Jan-Feb) seasons.
Instructors will also assist with the Mounds View Irondale Youth Hockey Association's Mini-Mavs program, which is a feeder program for their hockey association. Shoreview staff will help provide instruction, along with parent volunteers. This program will run immediately after our in-house classes, with groups alternating every 30 minutes between 9:45-11:45am.
Classes are held at the Ramsey County Shoreview Arena located across the street from the Shoreview Community Center Complex.
