How to apply for this job

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: service record or reference letter from past security work plus driver's licence and ID copies.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Prospecton.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

Mention the areas you know well. Companies prefer officers who can find addresses fast without a GPS.
Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
