This varied role will include monitoring CCTV, fire and intruder alarm systems, conducting searches of people and vehicles in order to deter acts of theft and therefore preventing loss of stock.

You will report to your Loss Prevention Manager, and will be responsible for efficiently communicating any security risks and incidents to them.
