Security Guard

It is 14:45, your morning shift is almost over, and your team is starting the briefing for the incoming colleagues for the next shift. It was a busy shift. You assisted nursing due to an aggressive person in the emergency department and immediately after, you guided a trauma helicopter landing. After that, you performed internal and external patrol rounds, and you brought a lost patient back to the ward. This way you achieve your daily step count, well done! At the end of the morning, there was a fire alarm on a ward where you, as a member of the emergency response team, were deployed to extinguish a small fire. "Otherwise, few specifics," says your colleague. This provides a great start for the incoming shift!

As an experienced security officer at Amsterdam UMC, you will find yourself in all kinds of different situations that you must resolve appropriately, either alone or together with your colleagues. Thus, you are responsible for the general safety of employees, visitors, and patients. Your standard duties are therefore:

• Performing surveillance, opening, and closing rounds;
• Receiving and guiding visitors and patients;
• Access and camera control at the entrances and emergency department;
• Providing assistance during incidents and participating in the emergency response team. You will be trained to work with breathing apparatus during the initial response to emergencies;
• Guiding various (medical) transports, including heli-transports;
• Performing security tasks within the psychiatric wards.

Working hours

The Security department is open 24/7. Work is carried out in three shifts, which are between 06:45-15:15, 14:45-22:45, and 22:15-07:15. The night shift is from 22:45-07:15.

What do you bring?

You are self-assured and always know how to respond with the correct tone of voice in both Dutch and English. Working in a team suits you well, but you also find working independently perfectly fine. You have a flexible, collegial attitude and you can communicate well. Moreover, you can switch and act quickly if an unexpected or complex situation spontaneously arises. It is important that you can handle confidential information well.

And furthermore:

• You have at least an MBO level 2 security diploma.
• You have at least 3 years of relevant work experience in a similar complex organization where you have worked with security systems and gained experience in a control room.

• You are in good physical condition; you will be trained to work with breathing apparatus. Please note: due to our role as breathing apparatus users, having facial hair is not permitted.
