Here, you’ll have the freedom to work in a way that suits you, the support to thrive and the opportunity to shape your career.

We are looking for a proactive, people-focused Security and Welcome Manager to lead our front-of-house and security operations.

This is a key role in ensuring that our college provides a safe, welcoming and high‑quality customer experience for our students, staff, and visitors.

If you are passionate about great service, have strong leadership skills, and are confident in managing safety and security in a fast‑paced environment, we’d love to hear from you.

As our Security and Welcome Manager, you will be responsible for:

• Ensuring every student, staff member and visitor receives an outstanding welcome.
• Leading and motivating our Welcome and Security teams to deliver excellent customer service at all times.
• Creating a friendly, professional, and inclusive environment at all key entry points.

• Overseeing the day‑to‑day security operations across the campus.
• Ensuring the safety of all people onsite through effective risk management, emergency response readiness, and staff training.
• Managing incident reporting, access control systems, CCTV operations, and campus patrols.

• Acting as the college’s key point of contact for Martyn’s Law (Protect Duty) readiness and compliance.
• Developing and maintaining appropriate security plans, threat assessments, and protective security measures.
• Training and supporting staff to understand their roles under Martyn’s Law, ensuring robust preparedness and response procedures.

• Managing rotas, performance, and professional development for the Welcome and Security teams.
• Working closely with Estates, Safeguarding, Student Services and external partners such as emergency services and contractors.
• Supporting college events and open days to ensure smooth, safe operation.

We are looking for someone who has:

• Experience managing security or front‑of‑house operations in a busy environment.
• Strong leadership and people-management skills.
• A passion for providing excellent customer service.
• Knowledge of Martyn’s Law (Protect Duty) and its requirements (or willingness to undertake training).
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to remain calm and professional under pressure.
• The ability to build strong relationships and work collaboratively with colleagues at all levels.

Relevant security or safety qualifications (e.g., SIA, first aid, emergency planning) are desirable but not essential.

• A friendly, supportive team environment where your work makes a visible impact.
• Opportunities for development, training and progression.
• A role where you can truly make a difference to the safety and experience of our community.
• The chance to contribute to a positive, safe and inspiring learning environment.
