We are looking to recruit additional female Event SIA Security Officers, to join our current team working at Edgbaston Stadium to ensure our matches and events run in a safe, secure way, ensuring that everyone has a first class experience.

The delivery team is responsible for conducting searches, monitoring crowds and responding to security incidents. You'll be working at matches with a high volume of visitors, so you'll need your experience as an SIA Door Supervisor licensed professional to identify situations before they happen and respond accordingly to those that do. Equally important is your ability to deliver a great customer experience to help create a unique atmosphere.

This is a varied role that will provide great memories: you could be deployed pitch-side, in one of the bustling stands, outside with the fans or helping to protect world famous players and staff. Friendly, professional and approachable, you'll use common sense to help people and ensure the events run smoothly.

Duties may include:

• Carrying out pre and post event safety checks, ensuring compliance with safe working procedures

• Searching female visitors on entry to venues

• Ensuring that no prohibited or restricted items are taken into the secured zones within the venues

• Monitoring visitors, crowd movements and behaviour to identify potential issues or incidents and to take appropriate action as necessary

• Dealing with visitor/crowd disruptions

• Securing licenced and hospitality areas
