Key Tasks & Responsibilities

The Role

We are looking for a rare type of individual for a role where previous experience is not essential as we’ll support the right candidate with training. Someone who cares about security. Has excellent attention to detail, appreciates that risk exists and is vigilant enough to spot it and take relevant actions, quickly and professionally, to deal with it. We call it Security Operative, but could just as easily call it Security Officer, Security Surveillance Operator, Security Concierge, CCTV Operator, or even Security Monitoring Specialist.

It certainly isn’t your typical front desk role. It’s wide-ranging and as the first point of contact in a highly regulated, high-security environment, you’ll combine security awareness with exceptional professionalism. Your focus will be to support safe operations by monitoring our premises, controlling access, managing visitor and vehicle flows, and maintaining site integrity - all while offering a helpful, confident presence.

Manage access for employees, Cash-In-Transit (CIT) crews, and authorised visitors
