Crossing Guards Needed In Lakewood

LAKEWOOD, OH — Looking for a part-time job? The city is still hiring crossing guards for the upcoming school year. Crossing guards will work about two hours a day (an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon) and make $13 and hour.

To snag the job, applicants must be at least 18-years-old, have a high school diploma or GED, complete a physical exam (which includes a drug screening), and submit to a police background check. Crossing guards work in all types of weather, so applicants have to be willing to deal with rain, snow, and heat.

“This is an ideal part-time job for a parent with a child in school, someone who’s retired, or someone looking to make a little extra money,” said Lt. Roger Warner in a press release. (Subscribe to the Patch Lakewood newsletter for local news and updates.)

The position will last the length of the school year, meaning crossing guards will work about 186 days a year. The work would start at the end of August and and wrap-up in early June. Training and equipment are provided.
