University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust is an incredibly rewarding place to work, offering a working environment with an inclusive culture that looks after and values our people and creates a sense of belonging. We encourage applications from people who embrace our values and who will enable us to expand our diverse workforce.
The successful candidate will possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to remain calm, confident, and professional when working under pressure. You will be responsible for delivering security training, carrying out security risk assessments and inspections, and recommending and implementing appropriate control measures to promote safe working environments and best practice throughout the Trust.
This role requires someone who can work independently, demonstrate sound judgement, effectively prioritise a varied workload, and collaborate closely with colleagues across multiple departments.
Experience gained within the Police, Military, or the security industry would be advantageous, although applicants with relevant transferable skills and experience are also encouraged to apply.
The post is primarily based at Heartlands Hospital; however, flexibility is essential as you will be expected to work across other Trust sites when required to meet service needs.
If you are committed to promoting safety, supporting others, and making a positive contribution within a dynamic healthcare environment, we would welcome your application.
