Our primary role is ‘Healthcare’ - Looking after our patients.
Secondary to that is ‘Security’ - Keeping everyone safe.

AS PART OF OUR BUSY SECURITY TEAM, YOU WILL BE INVOLVED IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT DUTIES SUCH AS:

• routine patrols
• report writing
• welfare checks
• diffusing tense situations before they escalate
• ensuring the overall security of our people and buildings.
