About the role

Virginia State Parks seeks an Interpretive Assistant at James River State Park to support interpretive programs highlighting natural, historical, and cultural resources. You will plan and conduct daily programs, coordinate outreach with schools and civic groups, and assist with scheduling and special events. Training will be provided. This role emphasizes customer service, exhibit care, and accurate record keeping, with occasional weekend, evening, and holiday work.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
