  • Be comfortable engaging in difficult conversations.
  • Demonstrate proactivity and intuition in problem-solving.
  • Be willing to work on a shift basis, including nights, weekends, and public holidays.
  • Communicate effectively with various stakeholders in a clear and concise manner.
  • Adapt to changes within the organization and team.
  • Exhibit flexibility in work methods.
  • Maintain an open-minded approach, recognizing the complexities of situations and fostering innovative solutions.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will utilize your diverse skill set within the Physical Security Team to:

  • Serve as the Line Manager for a team of security officers.
  • Oversee the daily operations of the team.
  • Facilitate training opportunities for team members.
  • Ensure the physical security of HMGCC personnel, visitors, and assets.
  • Prevent unauthorized access to the premises in line with established policies.
  • Perform receptionist duties, welcoming and registering visitors.
  • Conduct site and building patrols and security inspections.
  • Monitor and operate CCTV and AACS systems.
  • Conduct security screenings using X-ray equipment.
  • Respond to system alarms and security incidents.
  • Carry out searches of vehicles, staff, and visitors.

Benefits

In addition to the responsibilities outlined, we offer:

  • 25 days of annual leave, increasing to 30 after five years of service.
  • Paid overtime or time off in lieu for additional hours worked.
  • Extensive training opportunities, from short internal courses to distance learning degrees relevant to your career.
  • A competitive pension scheme.
  • Access to a Sports & Social Society with various activities.
  • On-site nursery (subject to availability).
  • Three days of paid leave annually to support a registered charity of your choice.
