Job Skills / Requirements

Are you looking for a rewarding career in the security industry, where you can apply your amazing communication and de‑escalation skills to help others? If so, Paladin Security's Healthcare Division may be the right fit for you!

We are looking for friendly and confident Security Professionals to work at a variety of healthcare facilities in Red Deer and surrounding areas. This includes hospitals, private clinics, long‑term care facilities, and more. Our Healthcare managers work with our employees to find a position and worksite that works well for their lifestyles.

This position works a 7 on, 7 off rotation, alternating between days and nights (1 week of days, 1 week off followed by 1 week of nights, 1 week off).

On‑call Security Guards are guaranteed a base rate during all on‑call hours. This rate jumps to the site‑specific rate when called out to shifts, which happens nearly every day. Mileage is compensated when travelling more than 50km one‑way from the employee’s base location.

Healthcare Security can be a physically and emotionally demanding job. Security Professionals are responsible for providing support, empathy, customer service, and public safety to not only healthcare staff, but also visitors, clients, and patients. The dynamic environments that our Security Professionals work in can be both enjoyable and exciting, but also stressful. Our industry‑leading Healthcare managers provide 24‑hour support for our employees, with an emphasis on proactively minimising risks and responding to incidents with real‑time guidance.
