Job Description: Security Guard in Blackburn BB1

We are working with several reputable clients across the Blackburn BB1 area, including distribution centres, manufacturing plants, and retail complexes, who require professional Security Guards to join their teams on a temporary basis with immediate effect. These roles are critical to maintaining a safe and secure environment for staff, visitors, and assets. You will be the first point of contact and a visible deterrent against unauthorised activity, playing a key role in the daily operations of some of the region's busiest sites. Successful candidates will demonstrate unwavering professionalism, sharp observational skills, and the ability to remain calm under pressure.

Applying through labourer.agency offers significant advantages over going direct for many of these security positions. We handle all the payroll administration, ensuring you are paid accurately and on time every week. We also provide a single point of contact – your dedicated consultant – who understands the local security landscape in Blackburn and can match you with roles that fit your skills and career goals, much like we do for event staff in HX1 or construction staffing roles. We negotiate competitive pay rates on your behalf and can often provide access to a wider variety of shifts and sites than you might find independently.

Key Responsibilities & Daily Duties

• Access Control: Monitoring and managing entry/exit points for personnel, vehicles, and deliveries, ensuring only authorised individuals gain access to the site. This includes operating gatehouses, checking ID badges, and signing in visitors.
• Patrols & Surveillance: Conducting regular foot and vehicle patrols of the premises, both internally and externally, to identify and report any security, safety, or maintenance issues. Monitoring CCTV systems where installed.
• Incident Response & Reporting: Acting as a first responder to alarms, disturbances, or emergencies. Accurately logging all incidents, writing detailed reports, and liaising with emergency services if required.
• Customer Service & Communication: Providing a professional, helpful presence to staff and visitors, offering directions and assistance. Maintaining clear radio and verbal communication with site management and other security personnel.
• Asset Protection: Ensuring the security of buildings, equipment, and stock. Conducting bag/vehicle searches as per site policy and preventing theft, vandalism, or unauthorised removal of property.

What We're Looking For (Essential & Desirable Criteria)

• Valid SIA Licence (Front Line): This is a mandatory requirement for the majority of our security guard roles in Blackburn BB1. Please have your licence available for verification.
• Proven Experience: Previous experience in a security, door supervision, or forces role is highly desirable. We also welcome applications from those newly licensed but with strong transferable skills.
• Right to Work in the UK: You must be able to provide original, valid documents proving your eligibility to work in the United Kingdom.
• Personal Attributes: Excellent communication skills, a professional demeanour, reliability, punctuality, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. A full UK driving licence and own transport are advantageous for some sites.

Salary & Benefits for Security Guards in Blackburn

We believe in fair and competitive remuneration for the vital work our security professionals do. Pay rates for these Security Guard positions in Blackburn BB1 typically range from £10.42 to £13.50 per hour, depending on several key factors:

• Experience & Qualifications: Those with several years of experience, additional SIA licences (e.g., CCTV), or specialist training can command higher rates.
• Shift Pattern: Anti-social hours, night shifts, weekends, and Bank Holidays often attract enhanced pay rates.
• Specific Client & Site: High-risk environments or sites with additional responsibilities may offer a premium.
• Assignment Length: Long-term temporary or temp-to-perm roles can sometimes offer more stability and the potential for pay reviews.

In addition to your hourly wage, working through labourer.agency provides significant benefits. You will benefit from weekly pay (every Friday), a streamlined registration process, and the security of knowing you are covered by relevant insurance while on assignment.
