About the role

We are currently recruiting for a Relief Security Officer to join the G4S team, working for a well known-site near Preston!

This vacancy qualifies for a retention bonus of £1,000, payable to employees who remain employed and are not serving a notice period at the time the bonus is due.

Contract Information:

Pay Rate: £15.30 per hour
Hours: Average 42 hours per week
Shift Pattern: As a site-based relief officer, you will cover all planned annual leave and other absences. The scheduling will strike a fair work-life balance to allow for adequate time away from work. Shifts will cover days, nights, weekends, and bank holidays

Please note - you must be a British National and have been a resident in the United Kingdom for a minimum of 10 years and apply with a full CV for consideration for this role. This vacancy is subject to Enhanced Developed Vetting, which may take up to 12 months, however there is the potential to start the role whilst this is going through.

Your Time at Work

As a Security Officer at G4S, you will be entrusted with responsibilities beyond those of a conventional Security Guard. Your role will encompass ensuring the safety and security of our customers, staff, their premises, and assets, while consistently delivering exceptional customer service. We are committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment and pride ourselves on adherence to stringent policies and regulatory requirements.

It's a varied role that includes greeting staff and visitors and ensuring they adhere to the required security protocols, conducting searches where required, patrolling the premises and dealing with security incidents. With a keen eye and a brilliant way with people, you could look forward to an interesting role where no two days are the same with exciting career opportunities.

A valid SIA badge is a prerequisite. Prior security experience is advantageous. While a CCTV operator's licence is desirable, it is not mandatory, as training can be provided.

Our Perfect Worker

Our perfect worker must be 18 years of age or older, possess strong communication skills, demonstrate teamwork, and be committed to delivering a consistently friendly and professional service. Proficiency in IT is essential, as is a robust security mindset.

Candidates must exhibit flexibility and be available to work a varied shift pattern, encompassing days, nights, and weekends.

Key Information and Benefits

- 5.6 weeks paid holiday (8 of these will be in lieu of bank holidays - subject to shift pattern and accrual)
- Workplace pension scheme
- Life assurance benefit
- Financial support for SIA Licence & renewal
- Contributory Healthcare Scheme
- Eyecare vouchers
- Employee Discount Schemes
- Progression, training & development opportunities
