What your day could look like
As a Security Officer, you'll play a key role in supporting safe, compassionate care across our hospitals and grounds. From visible reassurance to calm response in complex situations, you'll work alongside clinical and operational teams to ensure people feel protected and respected while accessing health services.
Every day, you'll contribute by:

Responding confidently to incidents, using de-escalation and sound judgement to protect people and property
Supporting staff, patients and visitors with timely assistance during routine activities and emergencies
Identifying risks and contributing ideas that improve safety, preparedness and security outcomes
Your work helps enable care to continue smoothly, safely and with dignity.

You'll take pride in being the steady presence people rely on, helping protect patients, colleagues and the wider community through professionalism, courage and care. You're here to make a positive impact, not just keep watch.
Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
A current C-class driver licence and ability to work rotating shifts across a 24/7 roster
Experience using conflict management, de-escalation and situational awareness in varied environments
Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with diverse people
A safety-first mindset aligned with compassion, integrity and accountability
You'll stand out from the crowd if you have:
A qualification or training in security or protective services
