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.
