Sounds good doesn’t it?

As a security officer for G4S, variety is guaranteed.  Your location and job activities will regularly change which means no two days are ever the same. You’ll ensure the safety of our customers and clients and no matter where you are based, we will train and support you every step of the way. 

Am I suited to being a Security Officer?

Previous experience in security is not a must, but if you're already working in the industry, or have before, we welcome you to join our team. We know you'll get off to a flying start!

We also welcome people who have worked previously in retail, travel, sales, recruitment or hospitality - jobs that rely on delivering great service. If you've done this type of work before, then you may have skills that would suit and as we provide full training, we'll help you pivot your skills into a new career.

A typical week will involve visiting a range of sites within your area; ensuring the safety of our customers' staff, their buildings and assets, whilst providing excellent customer service with a smile.  Other elements of the role will include:

• Building relationships with employers and community organisations
• Working as part of a team and on your own depending on site requirements
• Based in government buildings, you’ll be working within clear guidelines, dealing with employees & members of the public who need to attend the building
• An opportunity to work across a number of sites where you will gain increased knowledge, growing your own value as a guard

Join G4S and you can enjoy real career progression with a large international company - as the world’s leading provider of security solutions, we offer loads of training and support. You’ll be in safe hands from our induction and on-site training to regular reviews and welfare checks with our managers.

The Ideal Candidate

If you are aged 18 or over and are a confident communicator who is a team player with the drive to provide a friendly and professional service all times, then this could be the career for you! A good understanding of IT is required and as mentioned before, whilst it would be a benefit to have some previous security experience together with your SIA licence, it’s not essential.  We provide full SIA (Security Industry Authority) licence training to help you on your way to a career in security.

Our contractual requirements mean that you will generally be working a 4 on, 4 off, shift pattern and will therefore need to be available to work Monday to Sunday, including bank holidays. Your shifts can be both days and you’ll need to hold a full UK driving license plus have access to your own vehicle.
