The Ministry of Defence Guard Service (MGS) provides high quality security services at approximately 100 MOD sites across Great Britain.

All our Security Officers are required to have excellent customer service skills and must be willing to go above and beyond to support security operations across the defence estate.

We also require our Security Officers to have good written and verbal communication skills. Our Officers must have resilience and remain positive and friendly in all weather conditions and on all occasions.
We provide our staff with a market leading salary, excellent sickness benefits, together with a defined benefit civil service pension. Free full uniform will be provided.
We are a growing organisation with opportunities for good quality staff to progress their security careers.
