Better places, thriving communities.

Mitie is recruiting Security Officers to join our team at a brand-new HMRC site in Telford.

Working a 4 on, 4 off shift pattern covering both days and nights, you'll provide a visible security presence, carry out patrols, monitor site activity, manage access control, and respond to incidents while ensuring the highest standards of professionalism at all times.

Security Clearance Requirement

This role requires successful candidates to obtain and maintain Security Check (SC) Clearance.

To be eligible for SC Clearance, applicants will typically need to have been continuously resident in the UK for the last 5 years, alongside meeting other government vetting requirements.

What You'll Be Doing

• Maintaining a safe and secure environment for staff, visitors, and contractors
• Conducting routine patrols and security checks
• Monitoring access and egress points
• Responding to incidents, emergencies, and security concerns
• Completing accurate incident reports and records
• Reporting Health & Safety hazards and security risks
• Following Assignment Instructions, site procedures, and compliance requirements
• Delivering a professional and customer-focused security service at all times
