About the Role You’ll be the first line of response for incidents, ensuring that any issues are dealt with quickly, efficiently, and professionally.

• Carrying out system health checks and reporting any faults.
• Ensuring smooth shift handovers so nothing gets missed.
• Providing first-line technical support for security equipment.
• Maintaining accurate records and safeguarding data in line with GDPR.
• Acting with complete discretion and professionalism at all times.

What We’re Looking For

• Excellent communication skills – both written and verbal.
• Strong time management and multitasking abilities.
• Confident using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).
• Proactive, organised, and able to keep a cool head under pressure.
• Previous control room or similar monitoring experience is an advantage, but not essential – full training will be provided.

What’s in it for You

• Competitive salary package
• Company pension scheme
• Long service awards
• Employee discount scheme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Supportive team environment with full training
