Resident Security Officer - Student Accommodation HOBART

If you’re an experienced Security Officer or a people-focused professional looking for more than traditional guarding duties, this could be one of the most rewarding opportunities available.

These positions are offered on a PPT (Permanent Part-Time) employment basis, providing consistent night shift hours across multiple locations. We are only looking for people that are able to work on a rotating roster.

Due to the community-focused nature of this role, applicants with experience in people-supporting environments will be highly regarded. This includes candidates with backgrounds in areas such as student accommodation, residential services, community support, disability support, aged care, healthcare, hospitals, mental health support, youth services, education, hospitality, or other roles involving direct engagement, care, welfare, or assistance to individuals.
