Job Description
Security Officer
About The Role
Leicester City Football Club has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Security Officer to join the team, responsible for ensuring the safety and security of LCFC’s new world class training ground whilst providing exceptional service to all staff, customers and guests entering the property. Working alongside our growing team in line with the growth of the Club, our Security Officers are responsible for undertaking routine checks of all designated door entrances, gates, fencing and the venue perimeter whilst also managing the access control rights across the facility.
Who We’re Looking For
In addition to their security experience (possession of a SIA qualification is essential) the ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate their ability to offer a high level of customer service in this prominent, front-facing role. We’re looking for individuals who can deliver an exceptional welcome, yet are also confident in their ability to problem-solve and deal with difficult situations. Additionally, we’re looking for officers with the flexibility to work a 12-hour ‘continental’ shift pattern, that includes nights and weekend working.
Due to the nature of the role and remote location of the Club's Training Ground in North Leicestershire, it is essential that candidates have their own means of transport, as public transport links to the facility are limited.
About The Club
Knowing some of the history of Leicester City Football Club helps you appreciate the sense of community, spirit and family for which the Foxes are renowned for.
Formed in 1884, the Club was promoted to the Premier League in 2014 when the Foxes returned to the top tier as the Championship title-winners. In 2016, Leicester City became Premier League champions. This remarkable achievement qualified us for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in the Club’s history, and we subsequently reached the quarterfinals. The Club continued to build on that success and celebrated lifting the prestigious FA Cup in May 2021. Following relegation from the Premier League in 2023, the Club made it the top priority to get straight back up and did so as Championship title-winners in the 2023-2024 season.
Under the stewardship of King Power and the Club’s CEO Susan Whelan, Leicester City Football Club is deeply committed to the local community and its supporters and continually strives to ensure that every point of engagement with fans is truly world class including the experience on matchdays. Investment in the Club continues, with the 2021 opening of a new state-of-the-art training ground in North Leicestershire.
