Emergency Response Officer – MINI Plant Oxford

Location: MINI Plant Oxford

Overtime: Regular overtime available

Step Into a Role That Goes Beyond Security

Take your SIA career further with Mitie's Emergency Response Team at the home of MINI production in Oxford. This is not a standard guarding role. You will be part of a multi-skilled, highly trained team responsible for emergency response, fire safety, environmental incidents, and advanced first aid within a fast-paced, high-profile manufacturing environment. If you are someone who wants more responsibility, more training, and a role where your actions have real impact—this is where you build that future.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work at a prestigious automotive site – Be part of operations supporting a globally recognised brand
• Gain specialist training – Develop skills across fire response, incident management, and advanced first aid
• Earn recognised qualifications – Build a career, not just a job
• Be part of an elite team – Work alongside professionals who take pride in high standards
• Clear progression opportunities – Open pathways across security, fire, and emergency response roles
• Excellent earning potential – Competitive salary with consistent overtime opportunities

Main Duties

As an Emergency Response Officer, you will play a critical role in keeping people, property, and operations safe. You will:

• Provide a high-visibility, proactive security presence across the site
• Respond rapidly and effectively to fire alarms, medical incidents, and environmental emergencies
• Support and actively contribute to the Emergency Response Team, including training and daily planning
• Maintain and inspect specialist emergency equipment to operational standards
• Conduct internal and external patrols, searches, and incident reporting
• Ensure compliance with health, safety, environmental, and security procedures

What We're Looking For

We are looking for professional, motivated individuals who want to step into a more demanding and rewarding role.

Essential

• Full, clean UK driving licence
• Valid SIA Front Line Licence (or willingness to obtain – fully funded)
• Ability to pass a medical and fitness assessment (including breathing apparatus)
• Strong communication skills and professional approach
• Flexible to work days, nights, and weekends
• Ability to pass security vetting and random drug/alcohol testing
• Basic to intermediate IT skills

Desirable

• FREC 3 (First Response Emergency Care) qualification

Please note: Due to breathing apparatus requirements, candidates must be clean‑shaven or maintain a tightly trimmed goatee‑style beard for safety compliance.

Build a Career That Makes a Difference

If you have your SIA licence, a strong work ethic, and the ambition to develop into a multi‑skilled emergency response professional, this is a genuine opportunity to elevate your career. Join Mitie's Emergency Response Team and take on a role where your actions protect people, support critical operations, and make a real difference every day.
