Security Officer (Nights)

Night Security Officer

As a Night Security Officer, you will be part of the team responsible for the delivery of a customer-focused security service. You will prioritize the safety of staff, students, residents and visitors, and the security of the University buildings and assets, enhancing the customer experience. You will also provide a comprehensive security service for all campus users and property of the University. Your contact with our customer base will help ensure a welcoming, safe and secure campus by being proactive, approachable, supportive, vigilant and visible.

You will report to the Night Team Leader and will be an enthusiastic, skilled, highly motivated individual with considerable front-line experience of working within a customer-facing organisation. You will have experience of working in remote teams that deliver effective solutions and provide high levels of customer service as well as being comfortable working alone.

One of the most important roles this post incorporates is that of a first responder to safety and welfare related incidents, and as such we are looking for an individual who is calm under pressure, caring and compassionate.

You will work across all university campus locations on a Rota system: 4 nights on, 4 nights off, covering 365 days a year.

Your responsibilities will include health and safety tasks, fire safety checks and responsibilities involving the fire alarm control room, and possible first aid responsibilities. If this is the case, you will be the first responder on site and be responsible for delivering first aid (in house training will be provided) and/or required to call the relevant medical service, doctor, 111 or 999 ambulance service.

Night Security Officer Requirements

• You will have previous security or other relevant experience.
• You will have exceptional customer service skills, the ability to be diplomatic in conflict and empathize with individuals from a variety of backgrounds.
• You will have the ability to work in sometimes challenging situations, remaining calm and acting effectively.
• You will be a positive and committed team player, with the ability to work independently and on your own initiative.
• You must be comfortable with technology and computer literate as we are a digital university.
• As a team we go beyond the traditional security boundaries, and as an individual you must be highly skilled and flexible to deal with this challenging and varied role.
• The ability to embrace change is a must.

As a university we consider the right attitudes and behaviours to be just as important as experience and skill. Our department philosophy is to keep our customers at the heart of everything we do and we expect our staff to uphold our values of being “diligent, kind and excellent” at all times, linking in to the University’s overall vision, strategy and values.
