Are you seeking a part-time and flexible role? Are you friendly, reliable and willing to work outside in all weathers to ensure the safety of children?

The Archbishop’s School is looking for someone with a genuine interest in the safety of children and adults on their journeys to and from school. We require someone that is punctual, trustworthy, honest and dedicated.

The role of Road Crossing Patrol is to ensure the safety of children waiting to cross the road between the prescribed times without detriment to the health and safety of all other road users.

The Road Crossing Patrol will be self-motivated and be able to provide written reports if incidents occur.

We expect all employees, workers and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment.

The Road Crossing Patrol is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
