Looking for a role where you're valued, supported and paid for every minute you're on shift – even your breaks?

At Mitie, we recognise the importance of your time, which is why your lunch break is fully paid , meaning you earn more while taking the time you need to recharge.

About the Role

We're looking for a confident, approachable Retail Security Officer who can bring energy, professionalism and a calm presence to the shop floor.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Providing a visible, reassuring presence on the shop floor
  • Delivering outstanding customer service at all times
  • Deterring theft, anti-social behaviour and public order offences
  • Carrying out regular store patrols
  • Operating CCTV systems to reduce crime and stock loss
  • Working closely with store management teams
  • Supporting partnerships with Police and local crime networks
  • Using Body Worn CCTV to enhance safety for everyone onsite

What You'll Need

  • A valid SIA licence (or willingness to complete the training – we may be able to support you with this)
  • A full 5-year checkable employment or education history (this is essential for vetting)
  • A proactive, professional and customer-focused approach

Why Join Mitie?

We don't just offer a job – we offer a package that supports you:

  • £13.23 per hour + PAID LUNCH BREAK (so you earn more for your time)
  • Guaranteed contracted hours , giving you stability, certainty and peace of mind
  • Generous annual leave , so you can properly switch off, recharge and enjoy time away from work
  • Pension schemes to help you plan and build for your future
  • Uniform provided , so you have everything you need to feel confident from day one
  • SIA licence renewals support , with the cost of these covered whilst in employment with Mitie (excluding DS&CP license) helping you stay qualified and ready to progress
  • Full induction and ongoing training , giving you the knowledge, support and confidence to succeed
  • Retail discounts, financial services and reward schemes to help your money go further
  • Online GP access for you and your family , giving you quick, convenient support when you need it
  • Apprenticeships and real career progression opportunities , so this can be the start of something bigger

Don't miss out on this opportunity to join a supportive team where you're paid fairly for every minute you work!
