Council seeks relief school crossing supervisors

Published on 21 January 2019

Council would like to hear from enthusiastic, independent and community-minded people interested in becoming casual School Crossing Supervisors.

Council manages 20 school crossings across the shire and employs more than 30 school crossing supervisors.

The number of school crossings will increase to 21 this month when VicRoads completes construction of a school crossing on Chauncey Street, Lancefield outside St Mary’s Primary School.

Manager Community Safety, Anne-Louise Lindner said school crossing supervisors played a valuable and important role in the community by helping children get to school safely every day.

“Our supervisors are standout community members and we appreciate their hard work and commitment to ensuring our children are safe,” she said. “Several of our crossing supervisors have more than 20 years’ service with us.”

Council’s supervisors wear reflective fluorescent uniforms and work during peak periods from 8am to 9.30am and 3pm to 4pm.

Aspiring school crossing supervisors need to be punctual and comfortable in all traffic and weather conditions. They must hold a current drivers’ licence and a Working with Children Check (or be able to obtain one) and will need to complete a pre-employment medical examination.
