School Crossing Patrol

Working for Stockport Council's School Crossing Patrol Service you will assist children and adults safely across the road at a designated location to and from school. You will promote Road Safety on behalf of Stockport Council and act as a representative of the Council. You will be required to adhere to health and safety requirements, reporting any defects at the crossing location to the School Crossing Patrol Supervisor.

The ideal candidate will have good communication skills and a friendly approachable manner. You will have experience of working with children and the ability to assist children and adults in crossing the road. You will need to be respectful towards drivers and pedestrians and have a basic knowledge of road safety and traffic awareness. You will need to be available morning and afternoon, term time only and be able to work outdoors in all weathers.

At Stockport Council we are one ambitious team on a mission to create opportunities for everyone who lives, works and spends time in the borough. Working at Stockport Council means contributing to one of the most thriving towns in the North. We're keen to recruit people with the right values and behaviours that can help us ensure our workplace values are at the heart of everything we do.

The successful applicant's appointment will be subject to satisfactory pre-employment clearances including a Disclosure and Barring Service check.

Stockport Council holds a Visa sponsorship licence but this can only be used for certain roles and this campaign does not qualify.

Please note that we have made a commitment to improve the employment opportunities for people with disabilities, care leavers and ex-military personnel. As part of the Guaranteed Assessment Scheme you will therefore be guaranteed an interview if you meet both the criteria for the scheme and the essential job role criteria.
