THE ROLE The role of the School Warden is to ensure the safe crossing of school children at or in the vicinity of schools at opening and closing times of schools. The Road Safety Officer has overall responsibility for School Wardens in County Westmeath. A School Warden is recognised by the bright visibility coat and the Stop sign that they carry. School Wardens are empowered under the Roads Traffic Act to stop traffic during times of operation in order to allow school children to cross the road safely. The School Warden service provided by Westmeath County Council caters for hundreds of children attending schools across Westmeath on a daily basis during school terms. This is an opportunity to make a positive impact in your local community. Join Westmeath County Council to be part of a team and act with purpose to provide a great service. We offer competitive compensation, supply full training and uniform and the opportunity to contribute to your local area in a valued way. DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES The person employed shall be required to carry out duties as may from time to time be assigned to them in relation to their employment and as may be appropriate to any particular function of any local authority for which the Chief Executive is responsible and carry out such instructions as may be given in relation to the performance of duties. The duties of the School Warden will include but will not be limited to :- • Be responsible for the safeguard of any children while using the school crossing/pedestrian crossing between specified times. The discharge of these duties must not be to the detriment of the welfare of other road users. • Be in attendance at the crossing to which they are assigned punctually each day during the school term. • Be required to perform your duties under the direction of the Council’s Senior General Services Supervisor/General Services Supervisor/District Engineer or any member of the Garda Siochana. • In the event of being unable to attend through illness or for any other reason, it is essential that the Senior Supervisor for the District and the School Principal be informed in advance.

In some areas, it is possible that such lulls will obviate the necessity of much stopping of traffic, but in busy areas or on fast traffic routes, breaks will have to be made. Great care will have to be exercised by the warden in breaking up traffic, due consideration being given to the speed of the approaching traffic and conditions of road and weather. Sufficient time should always be given by the warden for traffic to pull up in safety. • To notify the Senior General Services Supervisor/General Services Supervisor/District Engineer and Road Safety Officer immediately of any traffic accident or irregularities that may occur during the performance of duties. • To furnish such records and reports relating to the employment as may be required by the employer. • If the wardens have any trouble in controlling, or encounter disobedience by the children, they should inform the Principal of the school concerned. Any disobedience by traffic in general should be reported forthwith to the Gardai. In the case of motor vehicles, the description, registration number and so on of person driving, together with time and place of the occurrence, should be noted for the information of the Gardai. Frivolous complaints should, however, be avoided. • The warden should never break up organised convoys, weddings, funerals, parades, or hold up Fire Appliances or Ambulances for the purpose of allowing children to cross. The warden should wait for suitable opportunities when they have passed. Heavily laden horses should not be held up on inclines. • School Wardens must be flexible and be prepared to perform their duties at any location within reason as directed by the Line Manager. • To carry out any other duties as may be assigned by the Senior Supervisor/District Engineer/Road Safety Officer or as delegated.

Compulsory retirement age will be 70. Recruitment Shortlisting: Normally the number of applications received for a position exceeds that required to fill existing and future vacancies to the position. While a candidate may meet the eligibility requirements of the competition, if the numbers applying for the position are such that it would not be practical to interview everyone, Westmeath County Council may decide that a number only will be invited to same. In this respect, Westmeath County Council provide for the employment of a short-listing process to select a group for interview who, based on an examination of the application forms, appear to be the most suitable for the position based on the specific competencies identified in the job description. An expert board will examine the application forms against a pre-determined criterion based on the requirements of the position. This is not to suggest that other candidates are necessarily unsuitable or incapable of undertaking the job, rather that there are some candidates, who based on their application, appear to be better qualified and/or have more relevant experience. It is therefore in your own interest to provide a detailed and accurate account of your relevant qualifications/experience on the application form. On occasion a shortlisting interview may take place. Competitive Interview: Selection will be by means of a competition based on an interview conducted by or on behalf of the local authority. The number of persons to be invited shall be determined by the Local Authority having regard to the likely number of vacancies to be filled. Interviews will be held via ‘face to face’ interview. Candidates will be required to pay any expenses incurred by them in attending the interview. A panel may be formed on the basis of interviews. Candidates whose names are on a panel and who satisfy the local authority that they possess the qualifications declared for the post and that they are otherwise suitable for appointment may within the life of the panel be appointed as appropriate vacancies arise. Taking Up Appointment Westmeath County Council shall require a person to whom an appointment is offered to take up such appointment within a period of four weeks (maximum) and if the candidate fails to take up the appointment within such period or such longer period as the local authority in its absolute discretion may determine, the local authority shall not appoint him/her. Deeming of candidature to be withdrawn Candidates who do not attend for interview or other test when and where required by Westmeath County Council, or who do not, when requested, furnish such evidence as Westmeath County Council require in regard to any matter relevant to their candidature, will have no further claim to consideration. Safety & Welfare: The holder of the post shall co-operate with the terms of Westmeath County Council’s Safety Statement and Major Emergency Plan. The candidate shall familiarise him/herself with the safety rules and procedures and make proper use of all safety, clothing and equipment. Failure to comply with the terms of the Safety Statement may result in disciplinary action. Training It is a condition of employment that successful candidates will be required to participate in training programmes relevant to the skills necessary for the performance of the duties attaching to the post. Reference/Documentary Evidence Candidates are required to submit documentary evidence to the local authority in support of their application. Copies of Certificates will be accepted to confirm eligibility before interview stage but if a candidate is offered a position, the original Certificate from the relevant University/College/Institution will be required before the candidate is appointed. The onus is on the candidate to request these before their appointment. If your qualification was received outside of Ireland, it will be necessary to submit a statement from the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland confirming the level to which your qualification is deemed equivalent. If this statement is required, please ensure that it is applied for immediately. The onus is on candidates to establish eligibility in their application form. The admission of a person to a competition, or invitation to attend an interview, is not to be taken as implying that Westmeath County Council is satisfied that such person fulfils the requirements of the competition or is not disqualified by law from holding the position and does not carry a guarantee that your application will receive further consideration. It is important, therefore, for you to note that the onus is on you to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements for the competition before attending for interview. If you do not meet the essential entry requirement but nevertheless attend for interview you will be putting yourself to unnecessary expense. Prior to recommending any candidate for appointment to this position Westmeath County Council will make all such enquiries that are deemed necessary to determine the suitability of the candidate. Garda Vetting Successful candidates will be required to undergo Garda Vetting in accordance with the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 to 2016.
