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’re looking for a School Crossing Patrol who wants to make a difference at Middleton Road, Pickering. Ideally you would cover both the morning and afternoon duties, but if you can't work both, we can offer flexibility and would still be interested in hearing from you if you can only commit to one duty a day.

The role

All our school crossing patrols provide a really valuable service to the local community by ensuring that children and adults are able to cross the road safely on their route to and from school.

Your duties will include:

• Check the operation of amber flashing lights (where appropriate) and reporting any malfunctions to the School Crossing Patrol Officer.
• Carry 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.
• Control and marshalling of children at the crossing point
• Stopping traffic on the Highway by using ‘STOP’ sign

Duty times are: 08:05 – 08.55 and 15.00– 15:30 on Monday to Friday

We may be able to offer flexibility, if you can only work mornings or cannot work every weekday, we would still be interested in hearing from you.  Many of our Crossing patrol staff often find the role hugely rewarding and sociable role and we’re sure you will too.

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.

A DBS is required for this role, the cost of which is met by the employer.
