Security Operatives, FACT

We are looking for two energetic, hardworking security operatives who have a proven track record of safeguarding a client’s property and assets against acts of theft, fire, flood and vandalism.

You must be able to hold good order on site whilst working for various service providers and users. The security operatives are expected to work within the building’s procedural guidelines and also ensure a high quality of service is consistently maintained with optimum efficiency.

This role requires a valid SIA licence and Emergency First Aid certificate at the time of applying. Due to the public facing nature of this role, we will also require the post holder to have an Enhanced Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) check – which the company will pay for.
