Responsible for staffing some evening, weekend and holiday activities.
Activities Staff of WHV need to have knowledge that the Jewish holidays fluctuate due to nature of the Jewish Calendar. Some flexing of work week hours may be necessary to cover occasional evenings and weekends. Also, because of the connection with the Jewish community, Wexner Heritage Village requires coverage during the holidays and festivals. If an activities personnel needs time off, working around the Jewish calendaring schedule will be an essential consideration as part of your role. If time off is necessary due to personal circumstances, a plan must be in place before time off is initiated.
