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.

To help us to achieve this we are looking to hear from reliable, enthusiastic members of the community to promote Road Safety on behalf of Salford Council. This is a key role that is vital for community safety.

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

 

About the role

The role includes assisting children and adults safely across the road at a designated location, when they are travelling to and from school. 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.

What we need from you:

  • 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
  • You will need some physical stamina as you will be standing outside for long periods of time and holding the stop sign
