This is the security that you’ve been looking for.

As this is an Area Role you would be required to cover the following locations - London Bridge, Forest Hill, Romford, Aldgate, Kings Cross, Wandsworth, Fulham & London

- 5.6 weeks paid holiday (8 of these will be in lieu of bank holidays - subject to shift pattern and accrual)

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 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. As this is a mobile position, you must have a driving licence and your own vehicle or have access to good public transport.
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.
