We currently have two Student Safety Officer positions available. Working as part of our security team, you will play an important role in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our students, staff and visitors.

Your role will involve patrolling the College grounds and buildings, providing a visible and reassuring security presence, monitoring student behaviour and remaining alert to any concerns or incidents. You will be approachable and supportive while also having the confidence to assert your authority calmly and appropriately when required.

The successful candidates will need to be:

• Physically fit and comfortable working outdoors and being on their feet throughout the day, in all weather conditions.
• Approachable and able to communicate effectively with young people.
• Confident in dealing with a variety of situations and able to maintain appropriate boundaries.
• Observant, responsible and able to respond calmly and professionally to concerns.
• Committed to creating a safe, respectful and positive environment for our students.

Previous experience in security work is not essential. We welcome applications from individuals who can demonstrate the right attitude, reliability, confidence and commitment to working with young people.

Please state clearly in your application whether you would prefer to be considered for the full-time or part-time position.

We are dedicated to safeguarding the students in our care. To that end, a Disclosure and Barring Service enhanced disclosure will be required in the event of an individual being offered a position within our College. Our staff undertake regular safeguarding and Prevent training and are subject to ongoing safeguarding scrutiny.
