Working At Central Guards
Your Career
A career at Central Guards is like no other. Not only is it rewarding and unique, but the variety here is like nowhere else. Depending on your job, upon joining you will find yourself either classed as a specialist or a generalist and belong to a specific capability area. Staff are given significant autonomy to manage their own careers and typically move jobs every two to three years with the option to move across areas. Therefore it is not unusual for someone to have worked in counter-terrorism, recruitment, counter-espionage and corporate communications in the first few years of their career.
Training and Development
Whatever your career path, training and development are at the heart of what central guards does, and you’ll have the opportunity to gain a wide range of skills. As well as making sure you’re able to do your job effectively, as an Investors in People accredited employer, we’re committed to providing you with access to training and the opportunity for continuous development throughout your career.
We encourage our staff to take responsibility for their careers and personal development, and you’ll work with your manager to make the most of your potential and the wide range of opportunities available.
Work-Life Balance
Due to the nature of what we do, a common misconception is that there is no work-life balance at Central guards. It is true that there may occasionally be times when you need to work longer hours than usual, such as the busy points of an investigation. But it’s also true that you’re not able to take your work home with you, so when you leave the office you really are leaving your work behind you.
Where operations allow, we offer flexible working to help you balance your personal and family commitments with your professional life.
