Security Jobs in Weymouth

Security management officers are in the front line of private rather than public sector crime prevention. The key focus of the job is ensuring both the people and property under their supervision are safe from robbery or violent crime.
Since March 2006, all employees in the sector need to by licensed by the government’s Security Industry Authority and receive formal training by employers, leading to a recognised qualification. Nowadays, private security consultants and employees provide back-up support services for the police.
Duties are varied and include manning security vans containing cash or valuables, monitoring CCTV cameras and searching vehicles at airports and other vulnerable premises. Skills required are alertness, good communications, honesty and the ability to judge situations and react accordingly. There are no minimum educational requirements for the job as extensive in- house training is given by Skills for Security to successful applicants.
The position invariably involves shift and anti-social hours work, with salaries at basic level averaging at around £6 per hour and managerial positions paying up to £40,000 per annum.
