Deputy Head of Security

The Security Department is responsible for the security of the Collection, the historical and commercial properties, and staff and volunteers. This is a 24/7 manned operation. It includes staffing the control room, responding to alarms and notifications from the Centralised Security System, double locking and unlocking buildings, and undertaking patrols covering a footprint of 5,500 acres.

Responsibilities and Duties:

The Deputy Head of Security (DHS) is primarily responsible for the daily operation of the Security Department. This includes line management of a team of Security Rangers (SRs), Security Technical Officers (STO) and Security Officers (SO) who work on a rota basis, covering day and night shifts for 24 hour cover. The DHS reports into, and works closely with, the Head of Security and Transport (HOST) who oversees the strategic direction and long-term planning for the department.

The DHS is responsible for ensuring the highest standards of response and communications from the team at all times. The DHS leads them in championing exceptional service and support to staff, contractors and clients, and promotes the importance of being a customer-facing department. Additionally, they will use their technical knowledge to proactively make adjustments to the high specification CCTV and Centralised Security Systems, ensuring the best performance is drawn from them, improving monitoring capabilities and response time.

Full Control Room training will be provided.

  • Develop and maintain a detailed understanding of all buildings
  • Respond to first aid incidents involving staff, visitors and contractors as required, ensuring all paperwork is submitted to the Helath and Safety Manager within the required timeframe
  • Oversee and update all procedural plans and documentation, working closely with the HOST and the team to achieve this, including the department emergency plan
  • Undertake the development of new procedures and how-to-guides for the department as and when required
  • Oversee the update of departmental risk assessments and apprise annually, applying own expertise to this process
  • In support of department budgeting, advise the HOST where improvements or possible cost savings can be made without affecting quality or performance
  • Plan the annual work rota for the department, ensuring that this is issued at the beginning of each year, then updated and reviewed throughout the year
  • Ensure that all electronic filing in the department is up to date and organised, using the SharePoint records management system

This role is expected to be a ‘key rep’ position for the Rothschild Foundation and therefore there is an expectation that you will live on the Waddesdon Estate to enable speed of response. Accommodation will be provided as a benefit of employment.
