Responsibilities:

  • Monitor and maintain security across assigned facilities, responding to incidents in a professional, non-confrontational manner.

  • Report and document any safety concerns, incidents, or suspicious activities in accordance with established procedures.

Working Conditions:

  • Environmental: Worked is performed at an outpatient setting on the outside of the property and requires the Security Specialist stay onsite at all times while on shift. The nature of the work dictates that an employee is alert and attentive during their assigned shift. Rest breaks and meal periods are subject to interruption.
