Jobs

Do you have some spare time in the morning and/or afternoon?

Would you love a role where you can be a hero to young children and adults?

If so, we are looking for a School Crossing Patrol who want to make a difference in Mill Street, Norton.

You will be responsible, reliable and will play an important role in ensuring the safety of children crossing the road on the way to and from school. You will also have the communication skills to deal with young people and drivers clearly and effectively.

The role:

All our school crossing patrols provide a valuable service to the local community by ensuring that children and adults can cross the road safely on their route to and from school. Your duties will include:

• Checking the operation of amber flashing lights (where appropriate) and reporting any malfunctions to the School Crossing Patrol Officer.

• Carrying out a ‘pre-duty’ Health and Safety risk assessment to ensure the site is safe to work at, and reporting any concerns identified to the School Crossing Patrol Officer.

• Controlling and marshalling of children at the crossing point.

• Stopping traffic on the Highway by using ‘STOP’ sign.

Many of our Crossing patrol staff often find the role hugely rewarding and sociable and we’re sure you will, too.

We offer flexibility, so if you can only work mornings or cannot work every weekday, we would still be interested in hearing from you.

What you will bring:

If you are customer focused, with great communication skills both verbal and written, then we would love to hear from you.

Working for us:

When you join us, you are entitled to our outstanding benefits and wellbeing plan as part of your position:

• Our holiday entitlement starts at 28 days rising to 34 days per year pro rata with continued service, plus public holidays.
• Pension: save for your retirement with our generous local government pension scheme.
• Fitness & Rewards: Fitness discounts with various Gyms across the county.
