About this role
2020 Protection Services Ltd is building a pool of reliable, professional security operatives for regular and ad-hoc shifts across a range of client sites in London. Shifts vary between 6 and 12 hours depending on deployment, with both regular ongoing placements and one-off ad-hoc cover available depending on your availability.
What We're Looking For
- Valid SIA licence (Door Supervisor and/or Security Guarding, as applicable)
- Right to work in the UK
- Reliable, well-presented, and able to represent our clients professionally on site
- Available for shifts ranging 6–12 hours, flexible availability preferred
- Static guarding and/or patrol experience an advantage
Desirable (not essential)
- Enhanced DBS certificate — particularly valued, as some of our contracts are in supported-accommodation and safeguarding-sensitive settings. Holding one opens up a wider range of deployments within our pool.
What We Offer
- Mix of regular and ad-hoc shift opportunities
- Deployments matched to your clearance level and experience
- Consistent, professional work across established client sites
- Clear reporting lines and site briefings for every deployment
- Opportunity to build steady hours through our regular site rotation
