The key responsibilities include the design of training programs, facilitation of training sessions, evaluation of training effectiveness, and provision of individualized mentorship to personnel within the Security, Car Parking, and Access Control services. The objective is to cultivate a workforce that is proficient, self-assured, and compliant with the organisation’s policies and procedures. A primary focus of the training role is to provide a tailored program for the hospital team known as ‘Positive Behavioural Support’ (PBS), along with the development of a specialised departmental training curriculum aimed at addressing the learning and development needs of both new starters and current staff.
In the absence of the Security Shift Team Leader due to annual leave or illness, the role may occasionally require you to assist in delivering a uniformed specialist service and to lead a team across various departmental functions. This includes ensuring that patients, visitors, and staff receive guidance and that a safe and secure environment is maintained in accordance with legal requirements, particularly during emergency situations, which involves key security responsibilities.
A critical aspect of this position involves managing situations with challenging patients, visitors, and staff, especially in difficult scenarios such as smoking violations, abusive behaviour, car parking incidents, and the presence of unwelcome visitors. The Trust has established policies and guidelines for the prevention and management of violent and abusive conduct, and this role will require you to support the implementation of these agreed-upon techniques.
