As an Area Relief Officer, you won't be permanently based at one location. You will work across multiple retail locations within the Oxford and Swindon area, providing reliable security cover and supporting different teams depending on operational requirements.

You may be required to work across Oxford, Swindon and surrounding areas, so the ability and willingness to travel throughout the area is an essential part of the position.

This role would suit an officer who enjoys variety, is comfortable adapting to different sites and takes pride in being someone the wider team can rely upon.

• Providing a visible and professional security presence
• Supporting multiple retail locations across the area
• Travelling between different locations when required
• Preventing and deterring theft and criminal activity
• Responding professionally to incidents
• Supporting store management and colleagues
• Maintaining excellent customer service standards
• Adapting quickly to different sites, teams and working environments
• Providing reliable relief and operational support across the area
• Completing accurate incident reports and documentation

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is:

• SIA licensed
• Reliable, professional and punctual
• Comfortable working independently
• Flexible and adaptable
• Confident working across different locations
• Comfortable travelling throughout the Oxford and Swindon area
• Professional when dealing with customers, colleagues and management
• Own Vehicle Essential
• Previous retail security experience is desirable
• Due to the area-based nature of this position, access to your own reliable car is essential.
• The successful candidate will need to travel between multiple locations across the Oxford and Swindon area and must be comfortable travelling between locations as required by the operation.
• Applicants without access to their own vehicle will not be considered.

If you're looking for a role with variety, responsibility and the opportunity to become a key part of a wider regional security operation, we'd love to hear from you. has context menu
