Why work for Vigil?
All Vigil security officers are directly employed — never agency staff. This means stable employment, consistent rotas, professional development, and accountability to our management team. Officers are assigned to regular sites, building familiarity with premises, staff, and operational routines rather than rotating across multiple client locations daily.
Current opportunities
We recruit SIA-licensed security officers for deployment across Greater London including manned guarding for corporate offices, retail premises, and construction sites, mobile patrol officers for overnight and weekend security checks, door supervisors for licensed premises and events, and concierge security officers for residential developments. All positions require current SIA licence and enhanced DBS check.
Requirements
Essential: Current SIA licence (Security Guarding, Door Supervision, or CCTV Operations as appropriate), enhanced DBS check or willingness to undergo check, right to work in the UK, professional conduct and customer service skills, and availability for shift work including nights and weekends.
Desirable: Previous security experience in corporate, retail, construction, or hospitality environments, first aid certification, conflict management training, and knowledge of Greater London geography and transport links.
How to apply
To apply for security officer positions at Vigil, email your CV and cover letter to security@vigilservices.co.uk with subject line "Security Officer Application". Please include your SIA licence number, current DBS status, availability, and any relevant security experience.
We review applications weekly and contact suitable candidates within 5 working days. Successful applicants undergo interview, reference checks, and site-specific training before deployment.
