Do you have the ability to assess situations and respond efficiently to emergencies? Do you have effective written communication skills and the ability to pass on verbal information clearly? If so, you could be a great candidate for a Security Officer at the University of Kent, predominantly based at our Canterbury Campus.

Previous experience in a similar role would be beneficial, however, it is not essential as full training will be provided. We are keen to hear from you if you are enthusiastic and motivated to be part of a committed security team in providing excellent customer service to a diverse group of people.

We currently have 3 Full time Security Officer roles. One of which will work late shifts only during term time.

As a Security Officer you will be required to work both day and night shifts on a rota basis, so flexibility is needed.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • Excellent oral communication skills and good listening skills (including the ability to clearly relay information in person and via a radio communication system)
  • Excellent written communication skills to effectively provide clear incident reports and complete relevant management documentation
  • Demonstrable skills in observation and the ability to appraise situations quickly and effectively

Benefits

  • Working at one of the UK’s leading universities
  • A beautiful landscape and award winning buildings
  • While this is a full-time role, the shift pattern (4 days/nights at work then 4 days/nights off) enables a good work-life balance
  • Excellent pension scheme with generous employer contributions
  • Full training provided
