# Safety Team Member – Student Security Position Location: Edinburgh
Contract Type: Permanent Working Hours: 10:00 PM – 07:00 AM Salary: £32,990 per annum
Make a Difference, Every Night
As a Student Safety Team Member, you’ll be the reassuring presence keeping students and buildings safe, comfortable, and welcoming during late-night hours. This is an opportunity to connect with students, support them in unexpected moments, and contribute to a positive community where everyone feels valued.
No two shifts are alike—whether it’s conducting safety patrols, responding to minor incidents, or simply ensuring students have a smooth transition through the night. You’ll work alongside student-focused teams while upholding Unite Students’ commitment to CARE (Connect, Act, Respect, Encourage).
Your Key Responsibilities
- Be the first point of contact for students needing support, reassurance, or guidance during late-night hours.
- Maintain safety and security by addressing incidents calmly, such as emergencies, noise disturbances, or maintenance issues.
- Enhance student experience by ensuring a welcoming, inclusive, and empathetic environment.
- Collaborate seamlessly with day and night teams to ensure a smooth handover of service.
- Preserve cleanliness and tidiness in managed buildings while proactively monitoring wellbeing concerns.
- Embed CARE principles into every interaction—connecting, acting with integrity, and encouraging positivity at every level.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- (Preferred, but not essential: Prior customer-facing or residential experience.)
Your perspective matters more than your CV. We value work ethic, adaptability, and a willingness to commit to meaningful, team-oriented contributions.
