You will be rostered to Dunedin and Wakari Hospitals, providing support to our patients, staff and visitors so that everyone feels safe.

As part of our busy security team, you will be involved in a number of different duties such as:

Ensuring the overall security of our people and buildings
You will be a peacemaker, a confident communicator and display kindness and helpfulness while remaining firm and alert. You will have experience working with people from all walks of life, be non-judgemental and have a good level of physical fitness.
You will receive excellent training, nationally recognised security qualifications, and the opportunity to work with a friendly, supportive and committed team. If you are looking for a role that is busy, varied and makes a genuine difference to people, we would love to hear from you!
Our Healthcare Security Officers work on a rostered basis seven days a week, so you will need to have the flexibility to cover a variety of shifts.
