About The Role

The University of Staffordshire is seeking dedicated, community-minded and proactive Campus Security Officers to join our Security Team on a full‑time night shift rota.

This exciting new addition will provide students with a safe, supportive and welcoming place to live, and you could play a key role in shaping that experience from day one.

• Help maintain a safe and secure environment across the campus and Student Village
• Respond professionally and effectively to first aid incidents, fire alarms and emergency situations
• Monitor and operate security systems, including CCTV, access control systems and incident reporting platforms
• Support a range of university events throughout the year
• Participate in ongoing training and development opportunities to enhance your skills and knowledge

About You

• Demonstrate excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Remain calm and professional under pressure
• Are confident using technology and digital systems
• Enjoy working as part of a team while taking initiative when required
• Are committed to providing outstanding customer service

We welcome applications from candidates who may not have all the experience or qualifications listed but are willing to learn and develop through training.
