About the Role
We require several Security Officers (Band 3) to assist in the maintenance of Security to protect people and property, deter and detect crime and provide a reassuring presence to our staff, patients and visitors. (Please note that you can be deployed on any premises of Sandwell & West Birmingham Hospital NHS Trust if you are required to do so).
Requirements

We are looking for compassionate, professional and courteous individuals. The shift pattern is 4 x 12-hour shifts, working 4 on then 4 off, covering weekends and Public Holidays as they fall.

Candidates must possess excellent verbal and written communication skills. The successful candidate will need to be IT literate.
