You’ll be greeting staff and visitors, interacting with the general public, ensuring they follow security protocols keeping our customers and their premises secure. Patrolling the premises and dealing with any security incidents, you’ll ensure visitors and staff are in a safe environment by de-escalating situations in a firm but respectful manner. Most of our roles operate on a day shift with sociable hours (generally 08:45 to 17:15) Monday to Saturday, however, some flexibility to work out of hours as and when necessary will be required. You will cover a number of different sites in your area so no two days will be the same.

It would be ideal if you have an SIA license or experience in security, but if not then full training will be provided. What’s crucial is your great communication and customer service skills. All our admin is digital and paperless, so you’ll need to be tech savvy enough to use our digital devices. As this is a mobile position, you must have a driving license and your own vehicle.
