Job details
Are you looking for a part-time job that gives you the chance to serve your local community?
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?
Are you reliable, confident and have a positive attitude?
If you answer YES to these questions, we might have the ideal opportunity for you to join our dedicated team of School Crossing Patrols throughout Sheffield and would be pleased to hear from you, if you may be interested in doing this essential work.
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.
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 school staff, we’ll train you in the professional skills to confidently manage the traffic. Uniform is also provided.
You will work during term-time, but you will be paid throughout the school holidays because the term-time wage is spread across the year (pro rata).
