Job Description

The Uniformed Security Officers are responsible for preventing and detecting offences against staff, visitors and contractors and will safeguard the company’s property, merchandise, monies and assets.

About the role

In this role you will work closely with a team of Uniformed Security officers to actively patrol the store and be on the lookout for potential offences. You’ll also liaise with employees, the public, and police on day-to-day security matters, meet with other investigative agencies and conduct inquiries on their behalf if needed. Meanwhile, you’ll keep up to date with any legislation that may affect your role.

You will have a proven experience of providing exceptional customer service, and have the ability to build strong relationships with your team. You will work in an environment that is highly detail focused and require you to deliver exceptional performance.

You will also:

  • Have exceptional interpersonal skills, as well as proficiency in conflict management and resolution techniques.
  • Have mental resilience to occupational hazards like abusive and threatening behaviour, dealing with confrontation and pressures.
  • Be able to demonstrate a high standard of personal appearance with a level of health and fitness that enables you to carry out the full duties associated with this position, which may include dealing with confrontational situations, as well as standing or patrolling for long periods of time.
