The University of Staffordshire is seeking a dedicated, community minded and proactive Campus Security Officer to join our Security Team on a part time night shift pattern (2 nights on, 6 nights off).

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working in a varied, fast paced environment, makes confident and fair decisions, and is committed to delivering excellent support and customer service to our diverse university community. This is not a traditional security role. It is active and physically demanding, and you will play a key part in creating a safe, inclusive and welcoming campus for students, staff and visitors.

Main Responsibilities

• Providing exceptional customer service to students, colleagues and visitors, ensuring everyone feels respected and supported
• Supporting university events as required throughout the year
• Participating in ongoing training and development, including opportunities to build skills relevant to the role and wider university operations
• Responding to first aid incidents, fire alarms and panic alarms, ensuring calm, safe and timely action
• Using digital systems confidently, including CCTV, access control, fire systems and incident reporting tools

We welcome applicants who may not yet have all the skills listed but are willing to learn and open to training.

Working Pattern

• Night shifts on a 2 on / 6 off rotation
• Shifts are typically 10-12 hours

We aim to create a supportive working environment and will discuss any reasonable adjustments you may need to perform at your best.

Right to Work

This role does not meet the criteria for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK without the need for sponsorship.

Application Information

The University reserves the right to close this vacancy early once we are in receipt of a sufficient number of applications. Early submission is encouraged.

Applicants are asked to submit CV only.

Staffordshire University is committed to promoting and enabling a positive culture where staff, students and visitors are confident to be their authentic selves.
