Security Officer

Security Officer Full Time

£10.42/hour

Southampton

This is the security that you’ve been looking for. Join us as an Security Officer for stable, regular hours – no changing shift patterns, work that you can plan your life around and the opportunity to carve out a career with the biggest name in security.

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) Wednesday to Friday, however some flexibility to work out of hours as and when necessary will be required.

It would be great if you have an SIA licence 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.

We are passionate about growing our own people. All of our leadership team first started out in a security role, and many of them have worked their way up with G4S. If you have the talent and desire, then we will help you to develop your skills so that you can reach your potential with us.
