Are you dependable, professional, and someone who enjoys working with students, families, and visitors?

We’re looking for a Part-Time Afterschool Security Officer to join our team in the Lehigh Valley area. This is a permanent position following the academic school calendar, providing security and a welcoming presence during afterschool hours.

If you’re looking for a consistent part‑time schedule where you can make a positive impact in a school environment, we’d like to hear from you.

As an Afterschool Security Officer, you’ll help maintain a safe, secure, and welcoming environment for students, families, staff, and visitors.

• Conducting interior and exterior patrols based on the school's daily event and activity schedule.


• Maintaining a visible and professional security presence.


• Monitoring entrances, exits, hallways, common areas, and designated exterior areas.


• Assisting with maintaining a safe environment during afterschool activities and events.


• Interacting professionally and respectfully with students, families, staff, and visitors.


• Observing and reporting unusual or potentially unsafe activity.


• Responding appropriately to security or safety concerns.


• Following site-specific post orders, procedures, and client requirements.


• Completing required activity logs and reports.

• Comfortable working independently.


• Able to conduct both interior and exterior patrols.


• Willing to work outside when required, including in inclement weather.


• Able to communicate clearly and professionally.


• Comfortable following school security procedures and client requirements.

Security, education, customer service, military, law enforcement, or other public‑facing experience is a plus, but reliability, professionalism, and the right attitude matter just as much.

Required Background Checks & Training

• Complete all required background checks and clearances.


• Complete all training mandated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for School Security Officers.


• Maintain all required certifications and training throughout employment.

What We Offer

• Permanent part-time position following the academic school calendar


• Wednesday–Friday, 2:45 PM–6:45 PM


• Opportunities for additional Saturday coverage when requested by the client


• Paid PTO accrual of up to 40 hours, beginning after successful completion of the 60-day probationary period


• Consistent work in a professional school environment


• The opportunity to build positive relationships with students, families, staff, and the community


• Meaningful work helping create a safe and welcoming environment

Why This Job Matters

School security isn't just about watching doors or walking hallways. It's about being a professional, approachable, and reassuring presence for students, families, staff, and visitors.

You may be checking a hallway before an event, monitoring an entrance as families arrive, walking the exterior of the property, or helping staff maintain a safe environment during an afterschool activity.

The little things matter. Your presence matters. And the right Security Officer can make a real difference in a school community.

Bring your professionalism. Bring your reliability. Bring your commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment.
