We are looking to recruit a full-time Security Porter to join our dedicated and thriving Security Team. The role covers a wide range of responsibilities, including implementing and acting on emergency and safety procedures, car park management, patrolling and providing general reassurance around the school. 

The Security Porter will often provide the first impression of the school, it is therefore critical that they are always professional, diplomatic, authoritative and dress appropriately for the role. The successful candidate will demonstrate strong customer service and communication skills and an ability to be resilient and remain calm under pressure. 

Working hours: Working hours are shift based Monday to Sunday, average 40 hours per week. A typical shift will be 9 hours including a 1-hour unpaid break. Start times will vary from 6-11am. 

Further details and an application form can be obtained from the School’s website, via the ‘Work with us’ link, or by email from the HR department on recruitment@stpaulsschool.org.uk 

The closing date for all applications is 12pm on Wednesday 17 January 2024. 

Interviews will take place thereafter. 

Early application is advised as the School reserves the right to interview in advance of the closing date. 

St Paul’s is a selective Independent Day School for boys aged 13-18, occupying a superb 45-acre site on the south bank of the Thames, west of Hammersmith Bridge. St Paul’s School excels academically at both A level and GCSE, with some of the highest national scores, but it is the work beyond the curriculum that excites both students and teachers alike. 

We particularly welcome applications from female candidates, as they are currently under-represented in the Security team. 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service. 

Our vision is to nurture a generation of Paulines that will make a positive contribution to the world; our three pillars of Scholarship, Opportunity and Character are the foundation of all that we do and we actively focus on five core character traits: Respect, Kindness, Humility, Integrity and Resilience. 

We value diversity, equality and inclusion, and are committed to creating an environment where all members of our community can appreciate and benefit from this. 

It is our expectation that the values of all applicants align with our values.
