    Application Follow-Ups

    • If you do not hear from us, you most likely are not being considered at the present time.
    • Offers of employment are contingent upon the successful completion of reference checks, criminal background check and – for full-time positions and designated safety-sensitive part-time positions – a pre-employment physical that includes a drug test.
    • Applications and resumes are kept on file for one year.

    Criminal Background Checks

    If you are offered employment, the Park District will conduct a criminal background check as required by Illinois State Law. You will be required to sign a Conviction Information Request Release Form at the time an offer is made and you will be scheduled for fingerprinting at the Fox Valley Park District Police and Public Safety Offices.

    The Park District is required by law to obtain criminal conviction information from the Illinois State Police on all prospective employees once an offer is extended. There are certain convictions that will automatically disqualify you from employment. For a listing and more information, click here (PDF). When applying for a position, you will be required to check an acknowledgment box indicating you have read the criminal background information on the online application.

    Physical Examinations

    Physical examinations by a medical doctor shall be required for candidates offered full-time positions and designated safety-sensitive part-time positions. The Fox Valley Park District follows ADA guidelines and will make reasonable accommodations, where possible, to hire qualified applicants.

    Drug Screening

    All full-time employees and designated safety-sensitive part-time positions will be required to undergo a pre-placement drug screening. It is the policy of the Fox Valley Park District to provide a safe, productive and drug-free work environment.
