Position Overview

We are seeking a reliable and community-minded Unarmed Security Officer to provide a safe and welcoming environment for patrons and staff at three of our contracted public library locations on the Westbank.

• Access Control: Monitor entrances and exits to ensure the safety of staff and local residents.
• Incident Reporting: Maintain a daily log and complete detailed incident reports in the event of any disputes or emergencies.
• Emergency Response: Assist staff in evacuations or medical emergencies by directing traffic and contacting emergency services if necessary.
• Community Engagement: Provide a friendly face for the Westbank community, offering directions or basic assistance to library visitors.

Requirements

• Professionalism: Ability to remain calm, polite, and authoritative in a quiet public setting.
• Reliability: Dependable transportation to commute between the three designated Westbank branches.
• Physical Stamina: Ability to stand and walk for the duration of a 4 to 8-hour shift.
• Background: Must be able to pass a standard background check and meet state requirements for unarmed security registration.
