Female Security Officer

At Heathrow, over 200,000 passengers pass through our terminals every single day, returning from overseas or flying out to destinations all around the world. As you can imagine, ensuring the safety and security of so many people is no simple matter. It takes a dedicated team with a host of different skills and backgrounds.

And now, thanks to our full-time late shifts and part-time evening shifts, roles in our dedicated Security team are open to even more people. With these rosters, whether you want to work around your children’s school times, other family commitments, or just your own particular lifestyle, you have the opportunity to find a career at Heathrow outside of normal daytime working hours. 

We’ll prepare you for the position through a four-week training period. Your first two weeks will be on a 09:00-17:00 Monday- riday schedule, based at our head office at the airport, followed by two weeks following a training shift pattern to learn the role in our operation.  Once you’ve completed your training, you’ll begin working the part-time or full-time shift pattern you’ve applied for. Our part-time opportunity is to work evenings in T4, beginning each shift at 17:00 and finishing either at 21:15 or 21:30. Our full-time opportunity is to work a late shift in T5, starting each day between 12:15 and 13:45 and finishing between 20:45 and 22:45. Our rosters follow a four days on, two days off cycle to support our 24/7 operation.  Once you’ve started with us, we’ll let you know which days you are working, and the exact timings, a year in advance. 

Our plans are ambitious ones. And our people equally so. That’s why we recognise and value the contribution that everyone makes. In return we offer great benefits. These include our employee assistance programme, pension, healthcare and travel offers, plus a wide range of development opportunities to take your career further.
