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 South Milford Primary School, Low Street, South Milford. 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.
What can we offer you?
Term-time only schedule: Time off during school holidays.
Short daily hours: Typically, 30 minutes in the morning and/or afternoon, leaving most of the day free.
Fitness Membership Discounts at your local gyms
Pension: save for your retirement with our generous local government pension scheme with a 18.1% contribution from NYC.
Free enhanced DBS check
Salary sacrifice schemes such as: Car scheme, Salary Finance, Cycle to work, Technology. Spread the cost from your monthly salary.
The role
Duty times: 8.15am - 9am and 2.50pm – 3.30pm Monday to Friday (7 hours 5 minutes per week, term time)
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
Many of our crossing patrol staff often find the role hugely rewarding and sociable, 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.

If you would like an informal conversation regarding the role, please contact Sandra Pearson at Sandra.pearson@northyorks.gov.uk
