The successful applicants will enjoy a competitive salary with generous 27% shift pattern allowance, and an attractive, flexible shift pattern with a focus on work and life balance, which is why most of our staff have been with us for many years.

Patrols will involve foot, cycle, and, if you have a driving licence, use of vehicles, responding to incidents on university property, and will include responsibilities away from the University site either involving students or as part of other contracted security responsibilities.
