Security Supervisor in Colchester

SECURITY SUPERVISOR (HOSPITAL)

Salary - £40,000 (£12.82 an hour, 60 hours a week)

Location - Colchester, Essex. Fully onsite

Hours - Monday to Friday, 7am to 7pm

A security services provider running patient observation at an NHS hospital in the Colchester area is looking for a Security Supervisor to lead its officers on site. Officers are called to the wards to stay with patients who are distressed, at risk, or likely to leave, many of them in mental health crisis. As Security Supervisor you are the person the officers rely on and the person the wards call. This is not a front-facing role: the job is making sure every officer is briefed, supported and covered, and that every incident is handled and documented properly.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Visit every ward with an officer on it each morning, checking handovers, uniform, licences and patient knowledge
• Attend incidents, de-escalate, and establish what happened and whether it was handled well
• Gather reports, statements and evidence for the hospital, safeguarding teams and the police
• Build working relationships with ward staff and the hospital's own security team
• Follow up assaults on officers and recommend extra cover where the risk calls for it
• Manage breaks, approve weekly timesheets and order uniform
• Prepare and present monthly performance figures to the hospital

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• A current SIA Door Supervisor licence
• Experience in the security industry
• Experience supervising or leading a team of security officers or stewards
• Some knowledge of healthcare or mental health settings
• Thorough, disciplined incident reporting
• Experience in events or stadiums could be an advantage

THE PACKAGE

£40,000 a year, based on £12.82 an hour across a 12-hour day, Monday to Friday. Staff parking is available at £1.80 a day.
