About the role
We are seeking a Security Patrol Officer to join our Estates and Campus Services Division at the University of Leicester. This is a front-line role within a diverse and award-winning team, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our students, staff and visitors. You will deliver a visible and reassuring presence across campus through mobile and foot patrols, respond to incidents as needed, and support Control Room operations. The post is full-time, permanent, and operates on a 24/7 shift pattern, including public holidays and university closure days.
The role offers much more than routine security duties; you will be actively involved in events, initiatives, and supporting the vibrant university community.
- In return, we offer 27 days of annual leave, additional closure and bank holidays, a generous pension scheme and access to staff benefits including discounted gym membership and childcare vouchers.
- Training and development opportunities are available to help you progress your career with us.
About you
We are looking for people with a positive, can-do attitude, good timekeeping and a genuine commitment to delivering excellent customer service. Previous security experience is not essential, as we will provide the training and support you need to succeed in the role.
You will be joining a diverse, award-winning Security team that is committed to providing a safe, secure and supportive environment for our students, staff and visitors. No two days are the same, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, working with people and responding to different situations.
