Bournemouth Borough Council is seeking to appoint the services of a dynamic and proactive security company with extensive security experience.

We require an experienced and professional security officer with transport to patrol Council temporary accommodation and provide a responsive support service as requested by the Strategic housing options team .

The Community Enforcement Team require security personnel with a car to accompany our out of hours enforcement officers who work at night responding to complaints by residents usually about noisy parties or ongoing antisocial behaviour issues.

The safety and security of our officers is of utmost importance and the presence of a security guard can deter some confrontational situations.

The security guard is there as an additional witness to the findings of the officer and they may be called on to provide a witness statement to support any formal action being taken.

There is also a requirement for a security service to assist with the management of rough sleeping and street based Anti Social Behaviour in Bournemouth.
