Uniformed Security Officer

We are looking for a Uniformed Security Officer that will prevent and detect offences against staff, visitors and contractors and will safeguard the company’s property, merchandise, monies and assets.

As we celebrate this momentous anniversary year, now more than ever, it’s an exciting time to join the Harrods Team. Whether you’re a recent school, college or university leaver, or you’re looking to restart your career in an exciting new field, at Harrods we firmly believe in offering exciting career opportunities.

About the role

With your excellent interpersonal skills, you will work closely with a team of Uniformed Security officers to actively patrol the store and be on the lookout for potential offences. You’ll also liaise with employees, the public, and police on day-to-day security matters, meet with other investigative agencies and conduct inquiries on their behalf if needed. Meanwhile, you’ll keep up to date with any legislation that may affect your role.

About You

You will need exceptional interpersonal skills, as well as proficiency in conflict management and resolution techniques. You will require a high standard of personal appearance and a level of health and fitness that enables you to carry out the full duties associated with this position, which may include dealing with confrontational situations, as well as standing or patrolling for long periods of time. This role requires mental resilience to occupational hazards like abusive and threatening behaviour, dealing with confrontation and pressures.

The role also necessitates a 4 on 4 off shift pattern that may include working at other Company premises and will include weekends, night work, Bank Holidays or Public Holidays as normal days of work. Additionally, extra hours and/or days of work maybe required and/or changed by the department, but with adequate notice (typically 48 hours) and therefore, a flexible approach is needed.

About Us

Our 175th anniversary will see the Knightsbridge store become a stage for our legacy of firsts, our house of world-leading brands and our reputation for exceptional. We want you to come and be a part of all this - and help us deliver exceptional service that represents our authority as a long-standing icon, industry-leader and innovator. Inspired by our past, celebrating our present and focusing on our future, you’ll be joining a team with the belief that anything is possible. What makes you different makes us exceptional.

Our Promise to You

We will provide intensive training alongside new colleagues when you join, and we will continue to invest in your training and development at Harrods. Long-term career opportunities are excellent, and we are proud of the length of service within our security team, with many staying and taking on management positions.

More immediately, you will benefit from an excellent benefits package, including a company pension, up to 33% in-store discount and a season ticket loan.

We celebrate and invite applications from all cultures, backgrounds, tastes and experiences and are proud of our culture where people from all walks of life can grow and thrive. What makes you unique makes us exceptional.

While our job adverts outline the ideal qualities, skills, and prior experience for the role, we believe in the potential for growth and value individual strengths.
