Job description

School Crossing Patrol

If you enjoy meeting new people and making a difference in your community, have you considered joining the school crossing patrol team?

Join our team where we facilitate the safe road crossing of children and adults within East Riding of Yorkshire.

This is a rewarding and respected role within the community that is appreciated by parents, children, and road users. The weekly hours make this an attractive opportunity for people who would like a job that can fit in around other commitments.

The crossing times are 08:35 - 08:55 and 15:10 - 15:30, Monday to Friday, during term time.

Duties include:

• Help pedestrians cross the road safely on school routes.
• Provide a safe walking environment that encourages children to walk to school.

Although basic knowledge of the highway code is desirable, full training and equipment will be provided, making this an ideal opportunity for someone with customer service skills or experience working with or caring for children.

As this role involves working with children, this role requires an enhanced DBS criminal record check.
