Female Security Weekend and Overnight

Position Summary
The Security Officer supports a safe, calm, and recovery-supportive environment for residents, staff, and visitors at SeaChange. This role combines facility security functions with strong professionalism, de-escalation skills, and a trauma-informed approach appropriate for a women’s recovery setting.

This role is not clinical, but it is mission-critical to resident stability and community wellbeing.

SeaChange is committed to maintaining a respectful environment grounded in dignity, structure, and accountability.
