Cork County Council Seeks Relief School Warden for Seven East Cork Schools

Cork County Council is recruiting a Relief School Warden to cover seven primary schools across East Cork, with applications closing at 4pm on 10 September 2025.

The relief position will provide coverage for school crossing duties at primary schools in Killeagh, Cloyne, Midleton, Upper Aghada, Youghal and Castlemartyr. The successful candidate will ensure safe road crossings for pupils at these busy school locations during term time.

The schools requiring relief warden coverage include Killeagh National School, St Colman's NS in Cloyne, St. John The Baptist NS in Midleton, Scoil Iosagáin NS in Upper Aghada, Bun Scoil Mhuire in Youghal, Gaelscoil Choráin NS in Youghal, and Castlemartyr National School.

This role offers flexible work covering multiple locations across the East Cork region when regular school wardens are unavailable due to illness or leave. School wardens play a vital role in ensuring the safety of hundreds of children crossing busy roads during morning drop-off and afternoon collection times.

The position would suit someone with flexibility in their schedule who enjoys working with children and the school community. Relief wardens are essential to maintaining the consistent safety service that parents and schools rely upon throughout the academic year.

Interested candidates can find full details of the position, requirements and application process on the Cork County Council careers page. The council is accepting applications in both English and Irish, reflecting its commitment to bilingual service provision.

Applications must be submitted before the deadline of 4pm on Wednesday, 10 September 2025.
