At TriGuard, we believe that security goes beyond simply monitoring a site. It is about creating a safe, secure, and supportive environment for the people who rely on our services.
As a Care Warden working across our clients’ supported housing facilities, you will play an important role in protecting the safety, security, and wellbeing of residents, staff, and visitors.
This role is specifically for individuals seeking weekend/nightime work and combines proactive security, resident-focused interaction, safeguarding awareness, and a range of operational duties.
“Our mission is to protect their mission.”
Applicants must therefore be available to work:
- Night shifts
- Day shifts
- Regular weekend work as required
Additional shifts may occasionally become available for those who would like to work additional hours.
Key Responsibilities
The role of Care Warden is varied, and you will be required to undertake a range of duties, including but not limited to:
- Monitoring CCTV systems to identify and respond to unusual, suspicious, or unsafe activity.
- Completing regular patrols of the premises and checking for security breaches, hazards, maintenance concerns, and other issues requiring attention.
- Carrying out welfare-related duties and responding appropriately to concerns regarding residents.
- Accurately completing all required documentation, including daily occurrence logs, incident reports, welfare records, handovers, and first-aid documentation.
- Identifying and reporting maintenance or repair requirements that may affect the safety, security, or functionality of the site.
- Liaising professionally with emergency services, local authorities, clients, support teams, and other relevant agencies.
- Completing identity and access checks and managing entry and exit points to ensure that only authorised individuals are permitted access.
- Delivering a high standard of customer service to residents, clients, visitors, and colleagues.
- Responding calmly, professionally, and proportionately to incidents, emergencies, disputes, and challenging situations.
- Maintaining appropriate professional boundaries when working within supported housing environments.
- Ensuring that the security office and surrounding work areas remain clean, tidy, organised, and free from hazards.
At TriGuard, we pride ourselves on being more than a security provider. We are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of the people we protect.
Our commitment to Securing Excellence is reflected not only in the services we provide, but also in the training, guidance, and ongoing support we provide to our team members.
