With the busy traffic across our city, it takes a special type of person to stop the traffic so pedestrians can cross the road safely. School Crossing Patrols are highly valued by our schools and communities.

Previous experience is not necessary, full training and uniform will be provided.

You will look out for potential hazards or dangers near the crossing area and help educate children on road safety issues. Following health and safety guidelines, you will report any defects at the crossing point to a Road Safety Officer.

- You will be a good communicator.
- You will be punctual.
- You will be able to work independently and use your own initiative.
- You will be willing to work in all weather conditions
- You will be approachable but assertive when ensuring safety
