Security Officer - Evenings

Be the Calm in the Chaos. Protect What Matters Most.

At Carle, our Security Officers do much more than patrol hallways. They provide a safe, welcoming environment for patients, visitors, and team members during some of life's most challenging moments. If you can remain calm under pressure, communicate with professionalism, and aren't afraid to take action when needed, we'd like to meet you.

This is not a desk job. Security Officers spend much of their shift on their feet, actively patrolling hospital facilities and grounds, responding to emergencies, de-escalating difficult situations, and helping ensure the safety of everyone who enters our organization.

• Protect patients, visitors, employees, and hospital property from harm, theft, damage, or misuse.
• Respond quickly and decisively to emergency situations.
• Patrol hospital buildings, parking areas, and surrounding grounds to identify and address safety and security concerns.
• Investigate incidents and complete accurate, detailed reports.
• Proactively deter theft, disturbances, and other criminal activity.
• Monitor compliance with visitor and employee identification requirements.
• Preserve evidence and assist with initial investigations when incidents occur.
• Work closely with hospital staff during emergencies and critical events.
• Submit work orders and recommendations to address safety and security risks.
• Uphold a professional, respectful presence while enforcing policies and procedures.

• You stay composed during stressful or emotionally charged situations.
• You can confidently de-escalate confrontational behavior without escalating tensions.
• You are physically capable of extensive walking, standing, stair climbing, and responding rapidly to emergencies.
• You exercise sound judgment and make thoughtful decisions under pressure.
• You treat everyone with dignity, empathy, and respect.
• You communicate effectively with people from diverse backgrounds.
• You understand that customer service and safety go hand in hand.

Healthcare security is unique. While maintaining safety is critical, so is recognizing that patients, families, and visitors may be experiencing some of the most difficult moments of their lives. The ideal candidate can balance compassion with accountability, providing exceptional service while confidently addressing safety and security concerns.
