Where potential is recognised and progress is supported.
At Securitas, we believe security is about people first. We create safe, welcoming environments where everyone can go about their day with confidence. As a Relief Security Officer, you’ll play a key role in making this happen across a variety of sites in the Glasgow and Ayrshire area.
From your first day, you’ll be supported to succeed. You’ll have access to high-quality Learning & Development programmes, mentoring from experienced colleagues, and a wide range of benefits. These include major brand discounts, wellbeing support, and opportunities to take part in community and give-back initiatives.
This role offers variety, flexibility, and development. No two shifts are the same, and each assignment brings new experiences, challenges, and opportunities to grow. Whether you’re new to security or looking to build on existing experience, you’ll be joining a team that values your contribution and supports your progression.
About the Role
As a Relief Security Officer, you’ll provide professional and reassuring security cover across multiple client sites. Your presence will help ensure people feel safe, respected, and supported at all times.
You’ll carry out a range of duties depending on the site and shift, including patrols, access control, and customer-facing responsibilities. You’ll be trusted to work independently when required, while also being part of a wider, supportive team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
