Security
Officer (247jc) – Central London - £40k + Benefits
Our
client is looking to recruit additional Security Officers to join their growing
in-house security team in Central London.
This
is not simply a traditional guarding role. You will be joining a developing
security operation that makes use of modern technology, established security
procedures and experienced security professionals to protect a varied portfolio
of sites and assets.
For
someone coming from the Armed Forces, military policing, operations,
communications, intelligence, force protection or a similar security-focused
environment, this could offer an excellent opportunity to build a long-term
career within the commercial security sector.
Reporting
to the Security Operations Team Leader, you will primarily work within the
Security Operations Control Room, monitoring activity across a number of
locations and responding appropriately to incidents, alarms and emerging
situations.
The
ability to remain calm, assess information quickly and understand when to act
independently and when to escalate will be particularly important.

Responsibilities
Your
duties will include:
·
Monitoring
and assessing security activity across the client's property and site portfolio
from the Operations Room.

Acting
as an initial triage point for security incidents and emerging risks.

·
Assessing
situations quickly and taking appropriate and proportionate action.
·
Escalating
incidents to senior security personnel or the Emergency Services when required.
·
Conducting
internal and external security patrols when necessary.
·
Identifying
and reporting security vulnerabilities or suspicious activity.
·
Carrying
out secure lock and unlock procedures.
·
Producing
clear and comprehensive shift handovers and incident reports.
·
Supporting
security operations at other London locations when required.
·
Working
alongside experienced security professionals and subject matter experts to
continue developing your skills.

We Are Looking For
