As a Security Supervisor, you will play a vital role in maintaining a safe, secure and welcoming environment for colleagues, visitors, contractors and members of the public. Leading a team of Security Officers, you will ensure the delivery of a professional security service that protects people, property and assets while maintaining the highest standards of customer service, compliance and operational excellence.

As part of your role, your key responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
- Supervising and supporting the security team to deliver a professional, customer-focused security service.
- Acting as the first point of contact for security-related matters, incidents and emergencies on site.
- Ensuring compliance with all relevant legislation, site procedures, health and safety requirements, risk assessments and Security Industry Authority (SIA) regulations.
- Monitoring premises, CCTV systems, access control systems and security operations to ensure the safety and security of people, property and assets.
- Conducting regular patrols, inspections and security checks in line with site requirements.
- Managing and responding to incidents, ensuring accurate reporting, investigation and escalation where required.
- Supporting the recruitment, induction, training, development and ongoing performance management of team members.
- Preparing staff rotas and ensuring appropriate staffing levels to meet operational requirements.
- Promoting a culture of professionalism, accountability, safety and continuous improvement.
- Building and maintaining effective relationships with clients, stakeholders, emergency services and site users.
