Our School Crossing Patrol Service operates to assist school children and pedestrians on their journey to and from school.
We regularly have vacancies for School Crossing Patrols throughout the County and would be pleased to hear from you if you may be interested in doing this essential work.
Main Responsibilities

We currently have vacancies for:
