How To Apply For A Job At HCSC

Although we accept applications constantly, year round, the preferred application window is December 1st to March 2nd.

BEFORE YOU APPLY, PLEASE NOTE ALL EMPLOYEES:

  • Must be at least 18 years of age (by the start of job)
  • Must be First Aid and CPR certified (by start of job)
  • Are subject to background and motor vehicle record checks
  • Must pass pre-employment & random drug tests
  • Must have relevant child experience

IMPORTANT GUIDELINES

This is your first test. Due to the overwhelming number applicants we receive each season at HCSC, we ask you to please read this information thoroughly before applying. The ability to follow directions is crucial.   

Choose the position you are most suited for, and apply for that (hundreds of resumes come each season saying, "I don′t care", "I′ll do anything" or "I′ll clean toilets")

If you feel you are suited for more than one position be sure to send in a separate resume & cover letter for each position you are applying for, and make a copy of your application. 

Why the need for mulitple applications and resumes?  Our summer hiring managers are not in our winter office, and so therefore you application/resume will be shipped out to the applicable hiring managers.  (They do not need to be in seperate envelopes.)

Please do not call or email us to check on your resume. With the sheer volume of applicants who apply each season, this puts a burden on our already busy office staff.  Please do not call us to ask us about job details.  If you're interested in a job, apply!  If you are given an interview, detailed information will be disclosed at this time. Not all applicants are given interviews.

Apply! Just because we receive a ton of resumes doesn′t mean it is impossible to get hired. We are constantly striving to create a well rounded, diverse, fun, energetic, safe and professional staff. We want to see your resume!
