10 Emergency Services / Military / Security jobs in Sunderland, Cumbria

Calling all night owls! Prefer staying awake and working through the night rather than snoozing away like the rest of us? We're looking for a dedicated night worker who won't fall asleep on the job! If you're as energised as a new Duracell bunny with the alert skills of a meerkat, this is the job for you! We're looking for new Supported Housing Concierges to join our growing teams. Here at Home Group we look after our vulnerable customers, but also those with quite complex care needs. Your job will be to make sure our customers are safe, our buildings are secure and pleasant places to be, and that we get on with our neighbours. Typical shift as a Housing Concierge

• If you want a quiet and calm (night) security job, then this is not the job for you!
• There is so much more involved than just (night working), stuck in an office monitoring CCTV or patrolling the premises.
• The first line of support for our customers when our wider team or their own support network aren't around to help!
• You'll manage the health and safety of the building, patrolling to check fire doors, making sure everything is locked and secure.
• Thinking on your feet and manage a situation on the spot, such as investigating suspicious activity or raising the alarm when we need to engage the emergency services.
• Finally, if there is time, you'll also help us make sure that everything is clean and tidy, so you need to be ok with wielding the mop or broom as well!, Due to limits on our current certificates of sponsorship, we are not able to offer sponsorship to external candidates for this role. This remains under regular review.
Looking for a job where you really belong? Where you can be, well you! Bring your uniqueness, brilliant skills and awesome experience to deliver amazing things for our customers. You'll join our team, who come from different walks of life and are here to support you as you make yourself at Home!
