We're an Armed Forces Covenant employer and a Disability Confident organisation, and we invest in our people through structured training, recognition schemes and genuine career progression. Our values, agile, sustainable, intelligent, collaborative and trusted, shape how we work and how we treat our team.

  • Conducting routine security checks and maintaining accurate incident reports

  • Upholding the prestige of the Jaguar Land Rover brand at every touchpoint

What you'll need

  • A valid SIA Door Supervisor Licence (essential)

  • 2 years' security experience (required)

  • A current Level 3 First Aid at Work (3-Day) qualification (preferred)

  • Experience in luxury retail, premium hospitality, corporate or another high-end customer-facing environment
