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.

• Provide access control in/out of the facility, as well as within restricted areas of the facility.
