About the Role

As a Officer, you'll help keep a further education provider's site safe, secure and welcoming, acting as a visible point of contact for learners, staff and visitors throughout the day.

You'll patrol the site, respond to incidents as they arise and support colleagues in maintaining a calm, orderly environment in which learners can get on with their studies.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Carrying out regular patrols of buildings and grounds.
  • Monitoring access, signing in visitors and checking identification.
  • Responding to incidents, accidents and emergencies, and escalating where needed.
  • Supporting learners and staff with positive behaviour and site rules.
  • Reporting maintenance, health and safety or security concerns.
  • Assisting with opening and securing buildings.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Experience in a security, site or facilities role
  • A calm, approachable manner when dealing with young people and the public
  • Good communication and observation skills
  • Reliability and the ability to work as part of a team

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Experience of working in an education setting
  • A relevant health and safety or first aid qualification

If you're ready to play a visible part in keeping a busy site safe and welcoming, we'd love to hear from you.
