This is an exciting opportunity with genuine autonomy, a £35k base salary plus commission (OTE £50k–£60k), a profit share scheme, and a fully equipped company van.

At Jackson Fire & Security, we've been protecting people and property since 1991.

You’ll manage your own diary, booking work directly with customers and enjoying real flexibility to balance work and home life.

This role is Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm, with occasional flexibility required and on call.

You’ll cover Swindon (SN postcode area), with occasional nearby travel for national accounts.

You’ll take your van home daily and work independently, supported by the franchise owner and the wider Jackson network.
