What you'll be doing

You will work across a range of security operations, including the Security Office, vehicle and foot patrols, cycle transport and the Kent Marshalling Area. Your responsibilities will include:

• Monitoring and operating CCTV and other security systems.


• Patrolling the road network and depot locations on foot and in a 4x4 vehicle.


• Responding professionally and promptly to security-related incidents.


• Managing keys, contractor permits and accurate security audit trails.


• Supporting the safe transport of cyclists across the River Crossing.


• Marshalling vehicles entering the Kent Marshalling Area, including processing dangerous goods vehicles.


• Liaising with colleagues, contractors, visitors, the general public, DVSA and the emergency services.


• Delivering a first-class customer experience while consistently following security policies and procedures.


• Maintaining a relentless focus on safety and Zero Harm.

Who we're looking for

You will be a confident communicator who can build positive working relationships and make sound decisions in a busy operational environment. You will also bring:

• A strong customer focus and a courteous, professional approach.


• The ability to remain composed and work effectively under pressure and to tight timescales.


• Excellent teamwork, organisation and problem-solving skills.


• A flexible outlook, with the initiative to manage several priorities.


• A willingness to learn, attend training and work at other Connect Plus sites when required.


• A full UK driving licence and the confidence to drive a 4x4 patrol vehicle in all conditions.

Customer service, security, specialist security-discipline or first-aid experience would be advantageous, but your attitude, judgement and commitment to delivering a safe, reliable service are equally important.
