Security Guards

I like security work and I have a talent for it too. I’m very calm which is important for the role. And I’m someone who is always helping other people. For me that is what security is - helping other people by keeping them safe. I worked as a door supervisor a few years ago but my licence expired...

Despite currently living in a homeless hostel, my life has really changed for the better over the last few years. From an early age, I suffered abuse at home and my mindset was that I could treat people the way I’ve been treated. You form a bond with other kids going through the same issues and -...

When I was 15 years old, I started training at home, preparing to get myself into the Royal Marines. As soon as I was old enough, I went for the Parachute Regiment.

Having my own accommodation and being healthy and happy is my goal. For the first time, I have now been able to start thinking about my career path. I spoke to other residents at my hostel, my support workers and security officers. They all had positive experiences in this line of work, and s...

I have experience as a concierge officer and love how being on the front-line means interacting with people from all walks of life. Getting my SIA licence will give me the opportunity to gain mo...

Thank you for your help in making my dreams come true. I hope this will change things around for me and my family. For almost five years, I wasn't allowed to work because of circumstances outside of my control. Over this time, my family and I have been supported by our Church and good friends,...

What really makes me smile is when I can make someone’s day by helping them with something they find difficult. In the last few years I’ve come to realise that it’s really satisfying when you do a good deed and can help others in life. I’m always concerned about the safety of other people and tha...
