Summer staff is interviewed and hired on an as needed basis. At this time, we are still accepting applications for Lifeguard and Water Safety Instructors. 

Hourly rates are set by the Town of Needham Personnel Board, and all staff members working with children and senior citizens must undergo a criminal record check as part of the application process.
