Control and marshalling of children at the crossing point
Stopping traffic on the Highway by using ‘STOP’ sign
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.
What can we offer you?
- Term-time only schedule: Time off during school holidays.
