Area Security Manager

Job description

An established property management company is looking to appoint an Area Security Manager to support a portfolio of nine commercial and retail-led sites across Yorkshire and the East Midlands.

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced Security Manager, Security Lead, Contract Manager or existing Area Manager who wants to move into a broader regional role with greater responsibility across governance, compliance, performance and service standards.

You will be responsible for:

• Conducting site assurance and support visits across the regional portfolio
• Ensuring compliance with internal procedures, assignment instructions and security standards
• Supporting onsite Security Leads with performance, training and operational issues
• Reviewing incidents, investigations and action plans
• Monitoring KPIs and service delivery standards
• Supporting recruitment, inductions and development across security teams
• Working closely with property management teams, suppliers and client stakeholders
• Supporting employee relations matters alongside HR
• Helping drive improvements in customer experience, technology and security processes
• Supporting new-site mobilisations, including TUPE, systems, training and operational readiness

You are likely to have:

• At least 3 years’ experience within the security industry
• Experience managing or supervising security teams
• Strong knowledge of security compliance, procedures and operational standards
• Experience carrying out audits, reviews or assurance visits
• Confidence dealing with clients, senior stakeholders and site management teams
• Exposure to HR processes, incident investigations and staff development
• A strong customer-service mindset
• The ability to work autonomously across a regional portfolio
• A full driving licence and willingness to travel regularly between sites

Package

• £38,000 base salary
• 14% car allowance
• Additional £850 allowance
• Business mileage
• 37.5-hour working week
• Wider company benefits
