Grade: Site Based

As a Security Operations Centre Officer at Securitas, you’ll do more than protect what’s important—you’ll help keep people, property and information safe across local and international locations. Working as part of the European Security Operations Centre for a prestigious pharmaceutical company, you’ll play an essential role within the Global Security Department, supporting a safe, secure and resilient environment.

Your role will be SOC-led, with a primary focus on monitoring security systems, assessing and responding to incidents, maintaining accurate incident and compliance records, and supporting business-continuity activities. You’ll also take on physical-security responsibilities at the designated site, including patrols, emergency support and providing a professional, customer-focused service to stakeholders.

As a Security Operations Centre Officer, every shift will bring new opportunities to use your technology skills, make informed decisions and respond calmly and professionally to sensitive situations. You’ll work with a high level of confidentiality and become a trusted part of the security team, helping to ensure people feel safe, supported and protected.

This isn’t just another job. It’s your opportunity to step into a role where your potential is recognised, your contribution is valued, and your progress is supported. With opportunities to develop your knowledge and undertake continuing professional development, you’ll be encouraged to learn, grow and build your career within security.

Responsibilities

You’ll play a vital part in keeping people, property, and information safe. That includes:

• Welcoming and assisting staff, visitors, and contractors.
• Conducting regular safety and security patrols.
• Ensuring compliance with regulations and procedures.
• Supporting emergency protocols, including evacuations and searches.
• Keeping vigilant, reporting incidents, and preventing disruption.
• Accurately maintaining records of all activity and handovers.

Please note - The responsibilities listed here aren’t the full picture—but they give you a good sense of the role. If you meet the minimum requirements and believe you’ve got what it takes to succeed, we’d love to hear from you.

What we’re looking for:

We’re looking for someone who sees a different world—someone who values teamwork, shows initiative, and wants to grow. Ideally, you’ll have:

• A valid SIA licence.
• Flexibility to work days, nights, and weekends.
• The right to work in the UK, with a 5-year checkable history.
• Strong communication skills in English—both written and spoken.
• Holding an SIA CCTV Licence.
• Holding a valid First Aid qualification.
