Our Vision: Changing lives through education
What We Do: Developing and writing quality reports both internally for GBS and for GBS partner organisations and other external agencies. To contribute to preparations for degree awarding powers.
About the Role: Be the Face of Safety on Campus. We’re looking for a proactive and approachable Security Officer to help create a safe, secure, and welcoming environment for our staff, students, and visitors. This is more than a security role, it’s about being a visible, trusted presence on campus and delivering outstanding customer service every day.
As a Security Officer, you’ll play a key role in maintaining campus safety, monitoring activity across our college premises, and supporting a positive experience for everyone on site and within the surrounding community. You’ll be confident engaging with a diverse range of people, handling situations calmly, and upholding high standards of professionalism at all times. You’ll work across multiple college locations, helping to protect our spaces while ensuring they remain friendly, inclusive, and well-managed environments.
The role requires flexibility to work at any time during campus opening hours, which are from 7:00 am to 9:30 pm Monday to Friday and from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, unless otherwise specified.
