Job Description
Step into a role where security meets service excellence. We're looking for a professional, customer-focused Security Officer to join our team at a world-renowned technology campus. You'll be at the heart of the workplace experience, creating a welcoming environment while helping to keep people, property, and assets safe and secure.
This is a dynamic role set across a large estate, offering a varied and engaging opportunity. As a Security Officer, your duties will include conducting regular foot and vehicle patrols, monitoring the control room, responding to incidents, and supporting the smooth operation of the site covering a large radius each shift. You'll also engage with employees, visitors, and contractors while helping maintain a safe and professional environment across the campus - including its on-site canteen and café facilities which you will also be able to access day to day.
Responsibilities
You’ll play a vital part in keeping people, property, and information safe. That includes:
- Welcome and assist staff, visitors, and contractors.
- Conduct regular security patrols and site inspections.
- Monitor CCTV, alarms, and access control systems.
- Prevent unauthorised access and maintain site security.
- Manage keys, passes, and visitor access.
- Respond to incidents, emergencies, and evacuations.
- Report hazards, incidents, and security concerns.
- Maintain accurate records, logs, and handovers.
- Ensure compliance with all health, safety, and site procedures.
- Support the protection of people, property, and assets.
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.
