Security Officer - Shifts, Per Diem

Overview

The per-diem role is used to fill open shifts when full-time officers take time off. We are interested in candidates with a substantial amount of available time in their schedules.

• Must be available to work all shifts:
• Day: 06:30 - 15:00
• Evening: 14:30 - 23:00
• Night: 22:30 - 07:00
• Some variable shifts may also arise
• Weekend availability is required
• Candidates should not hold full-time employment elsewhere; we are seeking individuals with flexible schedules, typically retirees or self-employed professionals
• While we understand per-diem officers may not be available every time we reach out, we do expect consistent availability and willingness to cover shifts when possible
• Supervisors will contact you via call or text when shifts open up; a prompt response (yes or no) is appreciated
• Work hours are not guaranteed and can vary significantly. You may be asked to cover a full week during staff absences, or go several days without being scheduled
• Summer months tend to offer more hours, while winter availability may decrease due to fewer vacation requests

NEW increased hourly wage, based on experience. In addition to the hourly rate of pay, there is a $1.60 to $7.60 differential depending on shift.

Are you recently retired, self-employed, or someone who has a lot of free time and is willing to work any shift? The UVM Medical Center seeks qualified individuals to join the Security team on a per diem basis. This position has no committed schedule/hours and is not benefit eligible. It calls for someone with some experience in Security, preferably in a healthcare setting, and flexibility to fulfill hours as needed by the team.

The per diem Security Officer covers both planned absences (staff vacation, holidays) and unanticipated absences. Ideal candidates are those looking to continue to be of service in a healthcare/hospital setting. Successful per diem Officers are those seeking to augment a part-time schedule, students who can pick up shifts around class schedules (or on school breaks), or retirees who would like to continue to work when opportunities align with their schedule.

Each Security Officer is assigned to a specific UVM Medical Center campus. The primary responsibilities are to conduct patrol duties, respond promptly to calls for assistance, and document services provided on each shift. The Security Officer is expected to act in a courteous and professional manner at all times.

Education: High School graduate or equivalent. Valid driver's license and safe driving record.

Experience: Prior security experience preferred. Previous experience in a healthcare setting a plus.
