Security Officer

Job Introduction

Security Officer – Tottenham Training Centre

Tottenham Training Centre is a world-class elite sports facility in Enfield, home to a vast complex spanning the equivalent of 15 full-size grass pitches. We provide a safe, secure, and professionally managed environment for athletes, staff, and visitors, and we are looking for a dedicated Site Security Officer to join our team.

Aside from the footballing aspect of the venue, Hotspur Way was built with an ecological environment in mind, with new and restored hedgerows and field boundaries, an organic kitchen garden and orchard, an attenuation pond, and over 150 newly planted trees and flowers.

As a demonstration of its dedication to the local area surrounding the Training Centre, the club has invested millions of pounds into community initiatives, resulting in the curation of 19 new programs by the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation. The initiatives have contributed education, mentoring, coaching, and care support for over 2500 people.

There is also player accommodation called The Lodge, adjacent to the training ground where players and backroom staff can stay within a 40‑bedroom, two‑floor, purpose‑built crescent building, complete with a green roof, that nestles into its natural surroundings.

As a Site Security Officer, you will be the first line of defence in maintaining the safety, security, and integrity of our training facility. You will patrol and monitor the entire site, respond to incidents, manage access control, and work closely with the wider facilities and management teams. This is an active, outdoor‑facing role, and candidates must be comfortable walking and patrolling a large outdoor site in all weather conditions throughout a full shift.

Candidates must have an Enhanced DBS. Shift pattern: 4 on/4 off, days and nights, 12 hr per shift.

• Conduct regular foot patrols across the full extent of the site, ensuring all areas are secure and any issues are identified and reported promptly.
• Monitor access to the site, logging activity accurately, ensuring cars don’t back up onto the road.
• Control entry and exit points, verify credentials, and manage visitor access in accordance with site protocols.
• Respond to alarms, incidents, and emergencies calmly, professionally, and liaise with emergency services as required.
• Complete clear, accurate written incident reports and maintain daily site logs.
• Communicate effectively with staff, contractors, and visitors, providing a visible, professional, and reassuring presence.
• Support the facilities team with ad hoc security and safety requirements.

We welcome applications from all backgrounds. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. The following are the skills and attributes required to perform this role effectively:

• A good standard of written and spoken English — you will be completing reports and communicating with colleagues and visitors daily.
• Basic computer literacy — you will use site management software, and email systems as part of your daily duties.
• The physical capability to walk extensively across a large outdoor site throughout a full shift — this is a requirement of the role and will be assessed fairly during the recruitment process.
• A reliable, professional, and vigilant approach to work.
• Strong communication skills and a confident, approachable manner.
• An SIA Door Supervisor licence.
• Enhanced DBS.

• Previous experience in a security, or facilities role.
• A SIA CCTV licence.

• Competitive salary — details provided on application.
• Full induction and on‑the‑job training.
• Uniform provided.
• Opportunity to work at one of the country’s premier sporting facilities.
• Supportive team environment with genuine opportunities for progression.
