The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body is responsible for providing the Parliament with the property, staff and services required for the Parliament’s purposes. We place a high value on excellence, and we are continually looking to improve how we can deliver the Parliament's core purpose of representing the people of Scotland by debating issues of national importance, passing legislation and holding the Scottish Government to account. We are a diverse workforce, and our embedded values shape the way we work and treat each other. We have a culture of respect and inclusion, and everyone has the ability to make a difference.

This is an excellent opportunity to join the Security Office as a Security Officer.

The Security Office sits within our Resilience and Sustainability Group. To see where the office sits within the organisation, have a look at our organisation chart.

The Security Office is responsible for maintaining a safe, secure and welcoming environment for those who work in and visit the Parliament. We provide a visible and reassuring presence throughout the building 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We’re also responsible for security vetting and the issue of passes, monitoring the Parliamentary estate, responding to incidents in the building, facilitating protest, and managing entry and movements around the building. The Office also provides security advice to Members and their staff.

As a Security Officer you’ll be the first point of contact in welcoming visitors to the Scottish Parliament and assisting passholders in accessing the building. You’ll be responsible for delivering a high standard of security across the estate to ensure the safety and security of all visitors and staff. You’ll also be responsible for responding quickly and effectively to any issues that may adversely impact on the smooth running of Parliamentary business or the security of the building and its occupants.

You’ll embrace change and a culture where you are empowered to deliver high quality work which will enhance the reputation of the Parliament. You’ll also support collaborative working, including with colleagues across the parliamentary service, promoting positive and open communication, as well as our commitment to diversity and inclusion.

We offer a great range of benefits including: 41.5 leave days (including public holidays), flexible working, paid professional subscriptions, family-friendly policies, Season Ticket advance loans, an onsite gym, Health and Wellbeing Schemes including discounted gym membership, a confidential counselling and information service, and the Cycle to Work Scheme.

You’ll also have the opportunity to join the Alpha Civil Service pension scheme, where we’ll offer you an employer contribution of 27.1% of your basic salary.
