As a Security Officer you protect people, property and assets at a client site. Most of the shift is spent watching CCTV and alarm panels, patrolling inside and outside the building, and managing who comes in and out. You are often the first person staff and visitors meet, so a calm, professional manner matters as much as vigilance.

You will work at client sites in and around Keswick, Cumbria. Typical sites include offices, retail, warehouses and logistics, construction and healthcare sites. We do not name client premises in public adverts; you will be told the site before you accept a shift.

This is a full-time role, usually 40 to 48 hours a week on a set rota. Day, night and weekend patterns are available. Pay is £12.71–£14.71 per hour, depending on the site and shift.
