Join Our Security Team
University of Staffordshire is seeking dedicated, community-minded and proactive Campus Security Officers to join our Security Team on a full-time night shift rota.
In September 2026, we will open our brand-new Student Village – a modern, high-quality accommodation development located alongside our Stoke campus. This exciting new addition will provide students with a safe, supportive and welcoming place to live, and you could play a key role in shaping that experience from day one.
This is much more than a traditional security role. You'll be part of a team that helps create a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment for students, staff and visitors. The role is varied, active and physically demanding, making it ideal for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, making sound decisions and providing excellent customer service.
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.

- Are confident using technology and digital systems
- Enjoy working as part of a team while taking initiative when required
