Carlisle Support Services is the chosen supplier for a unique and prestigious contract located at Portsmouth International Port. Cruise operations within the Port are expanding at a considerable rate, and as a result we are looking to expand our operation to support these developments and recruit officers to work alongside the current Port security team when cruise ships are in.

The role is varied and flexible. A high level of security and counter‑terrorism awareness are of primary importance. The position also requires excellent communication skills (spoken and written), excellent customer service skills, and the highest standards of personal presentation.

The key aspects of the role are searching passengers and using the X‑ray machines to check any accompanying luggage. Candidates must be confident, assertive, able to follow detailed instructions, and capable of swift, reasoned decision making under pressure.

If this sounds like it’s for you and you are willing to learn new skills to develop your career, we promise to provide full training and all the support you’ll need to help you succeed.
