Full-Time Third Shift Security Officer – Pottstown, PA

Monday–Friday | 10:00 PM–6:00 AM | Full-Time

Are you dependable, calm under pressure, and able to treat people with dignity and respect — even when situations get difficult?

We’re hiring a Full-Time Third Shift Security Officer for a client in Pottstown, PA that provides important services to an underserved population. This is more than a typical security position. You’ll work closely with the client’s staff to help maintain a safe, secure, and supportive environment for the people they serve.

If you’re looking for meaningful work where your professionalism, communication skills, and ability to work as part of a team truly matter, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

Your primary focus will be exterior patrols, observation, communication, and teamwork. Responsibilities include:

Conducting regular exterior patrols of the property, grounds, parking areas, and designated areas.

Maintaining a visible security presence.

Working in pairs as required by site procedures.

Supporting the client's staff during challenging or difficult situations.

Responding appropriately to disturbances, security concerns, and other incidents.

Observing and reporting unusual or potentially unsafe activity.

Helping maintain a safe environment for clients, staff, and visitors.

Communicating clearly with client personnel and your security team.

Completing accurate activity logs and incident reports.

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

Obtaining and maintaining required certifications and clearances.

Who We’re Looking For

This position requires more than security experience. The people you encounter may be experiencing difficult circumstances, so empathy, patience, and strong communication skills are essential.

The ideal candidate is:

Calm and professional under pressure.

Comfortable handling difficult or unpredictable situations.

Empathetic and respectful toward the population being served.

A strong communicator and active listener.

Comfortable working closely with a partner and supporting client staff.

Alert, observant, dependable, and punctual.

Comfortable conducting exterior patrols.

Able to follow procedures while using good judgment when situations change.

Willing to complete required site training.

Security experience is a plus, but the right attitude and work ethic matter just as much.

Required Site Certification

Employees must be willing to obtain Phazzer non-lethal CEW certification as required by the site. Training and certification must be completed to meet site requirements for assigned shifts.

What We Offer

Monday–Friday, 10 PM–6 AM schedule

Full-time hours

Overtime opportunities available

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

Capital Blue Cross employee-only benefits for employees working 30+ hours per week

401(k) with company matching after 1 year of employment

Valuable experience in a challenging, mission-driven environment

The opportunity to make a meaningful difference by helping create a safe environment for both staff and the people they serve

Why This Job Matters

Security at this site isn't simply about protecting a building. It's about helping create an environment where staff can do their jobs and the people they serve can access the support they need in a safe and respectful setting.

There will be difficult moments and unexpected situations. Your ability to remain calm, communicate effectively, work as a team, and show empathy can make a real difference.

If you're dependable, level-headed, compassionate, and ready for a security position where teamwork and communication matter just as much as vigilance, we want to meet you.
