The Role

Join Hampshire's School Crossing Patrol Service and become a valued part of your local community by helping to keep children and families safe on their journeys to and from school. This is a rewarding and highly visible role where you'll play a key part in promoting road safety and making a positive difference every day.

What you'll do

As a School Crossing Patrol, you'll take on a vital role in your community – helping children and families cross the road safely during busy school run times. You'll be a calm and reassuring presence at designated crossing points, ensuring pedestrians are protected and traffic is managed with care and confidence. Your role is essential in making sure children and other pedestrians can travel to and from school safely. This position involves working 10 hours per week during school term time, typically one hour in the morning and one in the afternoon. You'll be provided with a uniform to keep you protected in all weather conditions, and you'll be part of a valued team making a real difference every day.

What we're looking for

We're keen to hear from individuals who are responsible, reliable, and committed to making Hampshire's roads safer for children and other pedestrians. You'll need to demonstrate good traffic awareness, stay alert in all conditions, and show dedication to this important community role. A calm and approachable manner is essential, along with the ability to work independently and confidently use basic IT systems.
