School Crossing Supervisor Scheme

About the Scheme

The School Crossing Supervisor Scheme was established in 1984 and is a state-wide program introduced to reduce the risk of death and injuries to children attending schools. A school crossing supervisor’s role is to assist children in safely crossing roads on their way to and from school.

Role of the School Crossing Supervisors

• School Crossing Supervisors must be available to work both morning and afternoon shifts (on the same day) in all weather conditions
• crossing times vary at each school, with shifts up to one hour in the morning and half an hour in the afternoon (school terms only)
• rostered shifts will vary at each school
• additional adhoc work opportunities may be offered
• generous casual pay rate
• the minimum age for employment as a School Crossing Supervisors is 18 years of age.

Commencement of employment for the successful applicant is dependent on:

• the favourable outcome of a pre-employment health assessment
• a positive notice Blue Card (you do not need to have a blue card to apply for the position).

Please note: The department pays for both the Health Assessment and the Blue card.
