Job Description

Do you enjoy talking to people within your local community? Do you find it easy to build a rapport with a wide variety of people? Are you interested in the safety of our local children, and available for work during school term time but are not looking for full time work?

If the answer to the above is Yes, then why not consider becoming one of our dedicated School Crossing Patrols.

Our School Crossing Patrols are dedicated individuals who help keep children and their family’s safe on their journeys to and from school and are an important part of encouraging active travel by children and their parents.

We are always looking for people to join the team. No formal qualifications are needed, just a natural rapport with children and adults, alongside an awareness of road safety. If you’ve got the people skills to deal with children, drivers, parents, and teachers, we’ll train you in the professional skills to confidently manage the traffic.

You will be paid throughout the school holidays and there are experienced supervisors to support you with the role.


The average hours would be between 5-8 hours per week.


Please check out the vacancy location list to your right. Please note that when you apply you can specify which site or sites you are interested in being interviewed for. We always discuss this preference with applicants prior to interview.

If you are interested, please apply online, or alternatively call 01629 536049 and we can send out an application form through the post. We are also more than happy to give you help and advice on filling out the form if necessary.

We look forward to hearing from you!
