Job description

South Staffordshire College is looking to recruit an additional role to its Estates Team, with the creation of a Security and Student Liaison Officer at the College’s Cannock site. The postholder will also assist the sites team with minor repairs during the holiday periods.

The role is not about being a traditional security officer. We believe that young people respond to a security service that is firm and fair but that can also work with and understand learners, building positive relationships and being a good role model.

The College has a diverse mix of curriculum and services, and the ideal candidate will draw on their knowledge and experience to ensure security and behaviour at the Cannock site.

The role will suit someone with experience of providing a security service but also who has worked with young adults. The role will require someone who can work on their own initiative with an emphasis on providing an excellent, responsive service. The roles will report to the Director of Estates.

All applications must be received by Tuesday 6th January 2026. Interviews to be held: WC 12th January 2026.

What you can expect from us – We care about your wellbeing so have a number of activities all year that provide support. However, time off is also important. We have a generous holiday scheme, the usual Bank Holidays, an additional 5 days at Christmas and 2 ‘ME’ days (where you can have a day off work and do whatever makes you happy) as well as an additional day on campus spent on wellbeing. We have a range of benefits available to all staff including paid time off for emergencies (designed to support carers) and all our policies are enhanced further than statutory requirements. The College also contributes to your pension at a minimum of 20.9% (we contribute more for people in the Local Government Pension Scheme).

South Staffordshire College is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applicants from all sections of the community. We are committed to PREVENT and safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young adults and expect all staff to share this commitment.

This position is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure with child and barred list check.
