JOB OVERVIEW

We have a fantastic new job opportunity for an Overnight Security Guard / Night Shift Security Officer who is vigilant, responsible with great time-management skills. If you've previously worked in Security, then great. But if not, don't worry; the company will provide full training and support to get you up to speed. However, you will need to be comfortable around large dogs, not afraid of the dark and happy to work alone once trained up (although you will have the dogs with you for company during the night shift).

Working as the Overnight Security Guard / Night Shift Security Officer, you'll play a crucial part in ensuring the safety and security of the site and premises through regular patrols. Don't worry, though – while vigilance is key, the shift also allows for downtime and rest periods.

If you're comfortable working alongside canine companions, you'll thrive here, as you'll be partnered with two trained Alsatians who will support you on your patrols. If you're ready for a rewarding challenge and enjoy working independently with the support of a loyal team (both human and canine!), we encourage you to apply.

DURING BREAK PERIODS

For breaks during the evening, there is a comfortable interior space when you are not patrolling, with access to a kitchen with kettle, toaster, oven and microwave. For sleeping, there is a double bedroom and there is also a well-appointed bathroom. Officers are required to bring their own bedding and food. There is a full height locker per officer within the accommodation and plenty of storage space in the shared kitchen. The company provides tea, coffee and milk for all staff on the day team and night team.

DUTIES

Once trained, your duties as the Overnight Security Guard / Night Shift Security Officer include:

• Carry out security duties and work with the security dogs at the premises
• Conduct regular patrols with the security dogs in line with the training and documentation provided
• Contribute to the dogs’ training programme in line with company policy and care for the Company dogs while you are on duty
• Learn how to operate various locking and alarm systems and follow a lock down and open up routine accurately
• Take on-site responsibility seriously, remaining vigilant and responsive when not out on patrol and monitor CCTV during your breaks in active duty
• Can react in an emergency and notify emergency services and others

CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS

• Honest and trustworthy
• Loyal and reliable
• Comfortable working with large dogs and who will enjoy forming a bond with them
• Physically fit to a reasonable standard
• Able to inspire confidence and trust in customers and staff
• A reliable and friendly member of the security team, able to work well with colleagues
