We are looking for two Security Officers (39 hours per week) to join our team as part of Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTP SE) near Newbury. You will provide overall security/guarding capability to protect the assets and staff at the CTP SE site, complying with complex security procedures whilst maintaining a good level of customer service.

You will monitor CCTV and alarm systems, and ensure all security related systems and equipment are maintained, liaising with appropriate parties to seek resolution to any issues or failure. You will be required to check visitors/contractors in and out, manage and verify deliveries, and ensure that no unauthorised persons are permitted entry.

The successful applicants will be confident and possess effective communication skills including the ability to be discreet, tactful, diplomatic and sensitive. You must be able to work in a pressurised environment and have excellent time management skills with flexibility to meet demand. You will also have proven IT skills with the ability to operate and learn new systems.

As the role will require shift work, you must have a flexible approach to working hours to suit the requirements of the role and be prepared to work overtime as required. The shifts will cover a 24/7 operation. This role is part of a national, regional and local network and as a result you may on occasion be required to travel for business purposes. This may include travel across the UK and is not limited to the south east.

You must be prepared to be security cleared to an enhanced level. For the purposes of safeguarding national security, applicants who do not hold or acquire the appropriate security clearances and meet the nationality requirements cannot be offered the post. This post is therefore restricted to UK nationals. As such, in line with Cabinet Office Policy, supported by Section 82(2) to (4) of the Police Reform Act (2002), applicants who do not hold or acquire clearance and meet the nationality requirements cannot be offered the post.

The closing date is 23:55hrs on 6th May 2019. Interviews are expected to be held week during the week commencing 13th May 2019. For further information please email RecruitmentSE@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk or telephone 01865 555839 quoting 15661.

CTP SE and SEROCU are committed to becoming the most diverse team in the South East. We encourage interest and applications from candidates of all backgrounds and particularly welcome applications from female and BAME (black, Asian and minority ethic) candidates to enable us to truly reflect the communities we serve.

This opportunity is closed to applications.
