Ideal candidates are those looking to continue to be of service in a healthcare/hospital setting. Successful per diem Security Officers are those seeking to augment a part time work schedule, or students who can pick up shifts around class schedules (or on school breaks), or full/partial retirees who would like to continue to work when the opportunity aligns with their schedule.

Each University of Vermont Medical Center Security Officer is assigned to a specific Campus. The primary responsibilities of the Security Officer are to conduct patrol duties, respond immediately to emergency and non-emergency calls for assistance, and document services provided on each shift. The Security Officer is expected to act in a courteous and professional manner at all times.

Note: Emergency calls for assistance frequently require Security Officers to take the lead in controlling a violent/threatening situation after clinical and non-clinical staff have attempted to verbally deescalate a difficult situation. Security intervention frequently requires detaining and/or restraining the violent patient, visitor, or staff member.

High School graduate or equivalent. Valid driver’s license and safe driving record.

EXPERIENCE:

Prior security or public safety experience preferred, with an emphasis on providing a safe and dignified environment in stressful situations with a diverse patient, visitor, and staff population.
