Our Club operates with the valuable help of its volunteers, such as timekeepers, marshals and referees. One role that’s essential to the smooth running of the Club is that of the computer operators in our Club room, who sign-in members, schedule race starts and process the results that are published on our web site every week.
In recognition of the importance of this role, the Club has created a “Junior Technician” programme in which junior members (Year 6 and above) are trained up to run the computers on Saturday mornings, to ensure the smooth running of Club meets. Successful candidates are paid for their time on Saturday mornings and can still participate in races, between computer duties.
Key skills and competencies for the Junior Technician role are:
- Proficient with computers and technology, particularly
Microsoft Windows and Office applications - Attention to detail (we need our results to be accurate!)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills (things will go wrong and you need to piece together different pieces of information to resolve them)
- Ability to work calmly, independently and effectively under pressure
- Excellent customer service approach and strong communication skills
If any juniors (Year 6 and above) would like to learn more about, and train up for, the Junior Technician role, please contact our President Tim Doolan on president@drummoyneswimclub.com.au or mobile 0418 969591.
