SWINDON Council is looking for people who can help children to get to and from school safely.

They want to recruit escorts who can travel on school runs, with children who have special needs.

Transport will be provided to and from the escort's home.

There are also vacancies for lollipop people to help children to cross the road safely outside schools.

The roles are suitable for people who are fit and healthy, who would like to work with children. For both jobs the rate of pay is £5.77 an hour and training and safety equipment will be provided.

For information about becoming an escort contact special needs and social services transport officer Roger Haworth on 01793 466215.

For more details about becoming a crossing patrol warden contact road safety manager Margaret Tester on 01793 46399.
