Proper briefing
Written assignment instructions for every site, so you know what the role actually involves before your first shift.
Work with us
Build a career in security with Mackins
We are always interested in hearing from licensed, reliable officers who take the work seriously — across guarding, door supervision, CCTV and supervision.
Why Mackins
Treated like a professional, because you are one
Security work is often sold short. We take a different view: officers are briefed properly, given written assignment instructions, supported by a control room that actually answers, and visited by supervisors who check welfare as well as standards.
If you hold a valid SIA licence, turn up when you say you will and represent a client site well, we want to hear from you — whether you are looking for full-time contracted hours or flexible event work.
What we offer
What you can expect from us
24/7 support
A control room that answers, day or night, with a clear escalation route when something happens.
Reliable scheduling
Rotas issued in advance wherever possible, with flexible and event work available alongside contracted hours.
Progression
Routes into supervisory and control room roles for officers who show they can carry the responsibility.
