My client is actively seeking military veterans to join their newly established team as they are seeking individuals who are professional, vigilant and have the ability to remain calm under pressure and will genuinely value your skills and ability.

DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS RECRUITMENT CONSULTANCY, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO REPRESENT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EX MILITARY.

We're recruiting two Security Officers to join a newly established in-house security team responsible for protecting high-profile sites across Central London. Reporting to the Head of Security, you'll become part of a professional Control Room Operations team where no two shifts are ever the same.

This role would particularly suit former members of the Army, Royal Navy or Royal Air Force with experience in force protection, guarding, patrols, military policing, operational security, or those who have since gained experience within the commercial security industry.

The Role

Working a structured 3 days, 3 nights, 3 days off rotation, you'll provide a visible and professional security presence while responding quickly and effectively to incidents across a number of prestigious locations.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• The ability to remain calm and make sound decisions under pressure.
• High personal standards, integrity and attention to detail.
• The flexibility to work days, nights, weekends and bank holidays.

• Situational awareness
• Professional discipline
• Calm decision-making under pressure
• Security and risk awareness
• Strong communication skills
• Reliability and integrity
• Experience working within structured procedures
