About the Role
We are looking for a reliable and professional Night Security Officer to join our team in Burton upon Trent. At SPS Security, we’ve been protecting businesses across the region since 1992.

- Reporting: Maintaining accurate daily logs, recording incidents, and completing professional shift handovers.
- Communication: Acting as a reassuring point of contact for staff on-site and maintaining clear communication with SPS management.
You will receive a comprehensive induction and site-specific training to ensure you are fully prepared for the requirements of these locations.
Working Pattern
This role operates on a four nights on, four nights off roster. This provides a clear, consistent schedule that allows you to plan your personal life well in advance.
- Hours: Night shifts, including weekends and bank holidays as they fall within your roster.
- Flexibility: While your core pattern is structured, there are often opportunities to pick up additional night shifts if you’re looking to boost your earnings.
