Join Our Team
We believe security works best when it is delivered by people who care about the environments they look after. That is why our workforce is drawn from the communities we serve, and why we focus on long-term employment, trust and professionalism.
Why work at Specialist Security?
A people-first culture.
We directly employ our security officers and invest in them for the long term. We take the time to get to know our people as individuals, not just names or numbers on a rota, because strong relationships create better outcomes for everyone.
Every officer we recruit is interviewed face to face. It is how we ensure the right fit, maintain high standards, and build teams based on mutual respect and accountability.
Testimonials
What our team loves about working here
“I’ve worked at the company for almost five years, and they have always treated me with respect. It’s a good company to work for and gives you the chance to grow within the business.
I was taken on as a guard and have since been promoted to on-site supervisor, with a team reporting to me. If I were going to give stars, it would be five every time.”
Dai Morley
“I’ve worked in the security industry for a long time, across both site work and in thetelevision industry. I’ve worked for Specialist Security for over two years now, they are a very professional firm to work for. They care about people, especially Rachel, the Managing Director. I don’t think I will ever work for another firm, it’s like being part of a family.
Gus, the Operations Manager, treats us all with total respect and Chloe, the Office Manager, is always happy to help in any situation and is very professional.
It’s very important in life today to be happy in and out of work and this company does that for me.”
Nigel Mullins
“I’ve had the pleasure of working for Specialist Security for over three years now. The owner, Rachel, is approachable, flexible and fair.
There’s always someone at the end of the phone if you need anything, and you’re treated like one big family.”
Kevin Sandercock
“I’ve worked for Specialist Security for about two and a half years now and I’ve never had any issues. Gus and Chloe are polite and helpful. Rachel, the Managing Director, is honestly amazing, it’s a pleasure to work here!”

Flexibility at Specialist Security is not a box-ticking exercise. It is about treating people fairly, listening, and finding workable solutions that benefit both our teams and our clients.
