Would you thrive in an environment where you learn and grow personally and professionally all while helping make a positive impact on people's lives? Do you appreciate being around others like yourself who are dependable, trustworthy, hard workers who believe in the value of teamwork? HSCS is dedicated to building an atmosphere where employees feel valued and supported while providing specialized care for Texans in need.
HSCS is comprised of ten psychiatric hospitals, two youth residential treatment facilities, and thirteen state supported living centers. The psychiatric hospitals are a hub of excellence for forensic mental health and complex psychiatric care, with all facilities accredited by The Joint Commission. They provide state-of-the-art treatment that is recovery-oriented and science-based. If providing hope and healing through compassionate, innovative, and individualized care interests you, we welcome your application for the position below.
The Security Officer performs complex (journey-level) security work and is responsible for maintaining a secure and protective environment at the state hospital by observing, taking action, and reporting incidents or security violations involving the patients and initiating emergency response as appropriate. Primary work involves monitoring alarms and surveillance cameras, patrolling the buildings and grounds, checking badges or proper identification at the campus gate, and handling after-hours emergency calls that would enhance the safety of state hospital patients, employees, and visitors.
The Security Officer disseminates and coordinates emergency responses and information, and notifies facility management and law enforcement if appropriate, in the event of emergency and/or security violation situations. The Security Officer is responsible for identifying unfamiliar persons on campus and within the units as captured on surveillance cameras and during routine patrols. Ensures appropriate lighting for the safety of patients, staff, and visitors.
Works under limited supervision with considerable latitude for the use of initiative and independent judgment. Completion of work requires the use of established methods and/or techniques and decisions are varied but based on well-defined guidelines.
Performs other duties as assigned. Other duties as assigned include but are not limited to actively participating and/or serving in a supporting role to meet the agency's obligations for disaster response and/or recovery or Continuity of Operations (COOP) activation. Such participation may require an alternate shift pattern assignment and/or location.
This position may be eligible to earn additional pay for work performed on evenings, nights and/or weekends.
