Our Campus Support Officers work 12 hour day shifts which are 7.00am to 7.00pm on a 4 on, 4 off shift pattern. Due to the shift patterns and the need to ensure 24/7 cover at each campus and outer sites, it is not possible for this post to be a job share opportunity.

Our Campus Support Officer salary at the bottom of the C grade scale equates to:

C10 basic salary: £21,761
Contractual overtime: £2,770
Weekend working allowance: £3,520
Plus 2 hours TOIL per week

The salary and allowances outlined above are for 40 hours per week however the post is an average of 42 hours per week, therefore this post attracts 2 hours time off in lieu (TOIL) per week which is pre-programmed into the rota.

  • To assist with the implementation of all University emergency procedures and liaison with the emergency services, including carrying out searches of University premises, vehicles, staff or students as dictated by operational circumstances.
  • To deal with intruders/unauthorised persons/disorders, where necessary escorting them from University premises and escalating in line with documented procedures
  • Respond to and operate University security technology, e.g. CCTV, access control, intruder detection, panic alarms etc.
  • Carry out Control Room duties in a professional manner and in line with relevant codes of practice.
