About the Role

To be employed in this role you must be over the age of 18 and pass a basic level safeguarding check. Ideally candidates will have prior experience in security. Our stores operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, with that brings a wide variety of shift patterns – if you're looking for flexible working to fit around your lifestyle, then look no further! We'll work with you on your shifts, but weekend working is a requirement of the role, and we may need to be flexible with your work pattern. At Asda, the safety and security of our colleagues and customers is very important. Helping customers feel secure is all part of the service they love. Security colleagues play a vital role in safeguarding our colleagues and customers and protecting our business. You will be responsible for keeping a constant watch with patrols/checks including checking the inside and outside areas of the store for any signs of damage, break-ins or tampering with cash point machines. It will be your responsibility to carry out daily checks on fire doors, clear any obstructions and maintain the fire door records. Sometimes there may be conflicts and heightened situations which will require your support in ensuring that colleagues and customers are safe. You will be supporting your manager with random spot checks by acting as a witness and recording the details, conducting spot checks on vehicles in the warehouse yard, with the driver present and other spot checks including making sure paperwork and processes are completed in areas like claims and returns, waste management and lost property.

You must be able to work late shifts, finishing at 11:15pm. Ideal candidates will be able to work 3-4 days a week, including a weekend shift, with a mixture of late and day shifts. We are looking for either one full time colleague or two part time colleagues, so both candidate types will be considered.

About You

You'll be naturally friendly and want to get stuck in, working with your team to deliver great results. You care about giving customers a great shopping trip and that includes making them feel safe along the way.
