You will be deployed flexibly across multiple sites, often at short notice, requiring you to rapidly understand site-specific requirements and deliver a consistent, high-standard service every time. This is not a static guarding role. It requires professionalism, adaptability, and the ability to integrate into different environments without disruption. You are there to maintain safety, protect assets, and contribute to a positive, professional client experience – while embodying our values in every interaction.

  • Respond to incidents professionally, escalating where required in line with procedures.
  • Maintain accurate records of incidents, activities, and observations.

Flexibility & Mobility

  • Travel between sites across defined geographical area as required.

  • Work across different client sites, potentially on a daily or weekly rotation.

People & Culture

  • Represent CYS values of kindness, integrity, and trust in all interactions.

  • Actively engage in site inductions and continuous learning.
  • Maintain all required licences and certifications.
  • Be willing to qualify on additional sites to support business agility.

Data & Technology

  • Use company and client systems for reporting, logging, and communication.
  • Accurately complete incident reports and digital records.
  • Engage with evolving technology used to support smarter security delivery.

Compliance & Assurance

  • Ensure full compliance with all SIA licensing requirements and company policies.
  • Follow all assignment instructions, risk assessments, and health & safety procedures.
  • Maintain high standards of appearance, conduct, and professionalism at all times.
  • Support audits, inspections, and quality assurance processes where required.

  • Ability to adapt quickly to new environments and expectations
  • Strong situational awareness and decision-making ability

CYS Security is not your typical security company. We are building something different. Our vision is to redefine security as a service that creates safe spaces – environments where people feel secure, supported, and able to perform at their best. We combine professional guarding with intelligence, technology, and a deeply human approach grounded in kindness, integrity, and trust. We are growing quickly, but deliberately. Every person we bring into the business matters.

What We Offer

  • Flexible working aligned to your availability
  • Opportunity to work across a range of high-profile corporate environments
  • Ongoing training and multi-site development opportunities
  • A role within a values-driven business that prioritises people as much as performance
  • The opportunity to be part of a growing, ambitious organisation redefining security

This is not a standard security role. We are building a team of individuals who can operate at a higher level – people who can step into any environment and represent our business with confidence, professionalism, and care. If you are looking for routine, this probably isn t the role for you.
