About the Role

We're looking for a confident, approachable Retail Security Officer who can bring energy, professionalism and a calm presence to the shop floor. This is a role where no two days are the same as you will be helping to protect people, prevent loss and create a safe, positive shopping experience for customers and colleagues alike.

With flexible shifts discussed at interview, this is a great opportunity to find a working pattern that fits around your life while building a rewarding career with Mitie.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Carrying out regular store patrols
  • Operating CCTV systems to reduce crime and stock loss
  • Working closely with store management teams
  • Supporting partnerships with Police and local crime networks
  • Using Body Worn CCTV to enhance safety for everyone onsite
What You'll Need
  • A valid SIA licence (or willingness to complete the training – we may be able to support you with this)
  • A full 5‑year checkable employment or education history (this is essential for vetting)
  • A proactive, professional and customer‑focused approach
Benefits
  • £15.72 per hour + Paid Lunch Break (you earn more for your time)
  • Guaranteed contracted hours, giving you stability, certainty and peace of mind
  • Generous annual leave, so you can properly switch off, recharge and enjoy time away from work
  • Pension schemes to help you plan and build for your future
  • Uniform provided, so you have everything you need to feel confident from day one
  • SIA licence renewals support, with the cost of these covered whilst in employment with Mitie (excluding DS&CP licence) helping you stay qualified and ready to progress
  • Full induction and ongoing training, giving you the knowledge, support and confidence to succeed
  • Retail discounts, financial services and reward schemes to help your money go further
  • Online GP access for you and your family, giving you quick, convenient support when you need it
  • Apprenticeships and real career progression opportunities, so this can be the start of something bigger
