Casual opportunity to implement and maintain security procedures that provide for a safe and secure environment for patients, staff and visitors at Redcliffe Hospital.

Job details

Redcliffe Hospital is seeking casual security officers to join its dynamic, fast-paced team where no two shifts are the same. Your input will truly matter as you will be a valued member of a multidisciplinary team focused on staff safety and positive patient outcomes. No security experience? No problem! We provide paid, on-the-job training to give you the skills you need. Many of our officers come from non-security backgrounds. Tired of the 9 to 5 grind? We are a 24/7/365 operation - we never close. If you are passionate about safety and want to join a close-knit, purpose-driven team, we'd love you to submit your application.

How to apply

Please provide the following information to the panel to assess your suitability:

1. Your current CV or Resume, including referees (note: no more than 2 pages). You must seek approval prior to nominating a person as a referee.  Referees should have thorough knowledge of your work performance and conduct, and it is preferable to include your current/immediate past supervisor. By providing the names and contact details of your referee/s you consent for these people to be contacted by the selection panel. If you do not wish for a referee to be contacted, please indicate this on your CV or Resume.
2. Your responses to the attached Applicant Questionnaire (note: no cover letter is required).
