About us
The School Crossing Patrol Service is part of the Road Safety Team based at Newton Bar Wakefield.
The School Crossing Patrol Service is currently responsible for approximately 100 School Crossing sites in the Wakefield Council area. Wakefield's School Crossing Patrols are responsible for safely crossing thousands of adults and children every year. School Crossing Patrols also accompany Road Safety trainers into schools to deliver road safety lessons.
New sites
Requests for new sites come from many areas, Schools, Parents and Road Safety Organisations etc. If you request a site, please contact us using the 'School Crossing Patrol Site Form' and we will carry out a survey to see if it meets the criteria for a new site.
Vacancies
Across the district we have vacancies for School Crossing Patrols and relief School Crossing Patrols.
The job of a School Crossing Patrol, although at times is a demanding one, it is also a very rewarding one. The position of School Crossing Patrol is suitable for persons who are able to commit approximately 1 hour a day to the service.
The uniform is free and the wage is subject to job evaluation.
