ICTS works in partnership with Bristol Airport, delivering security services to its 9 million passengers. As an airport Security Agent, you will join a carefully selected and trained team of agents responsible for delivering an outstanding customer experience whilst maintaining the safety and integrity of the airport, its passengers and staff. Whether it’s using specialist detectors and X-ray devices to screen and scan passengers and their hand luggage, or verifying the identity of crew and airport staff, one thing is for sure – this is a customer service job with a difference. Team work, personality and a positive attitude are essential. In this role some of your main responsibilities will include:
- Carrying out ID and boarding card checks
- Searching customers, staff, airline crew and business partners
- Carrying our security checks on cabin baggage
- Operating security equipment such as body scanner and X-ray machines
About you
The airport is well-known for delivering an award-winning customer experience to its passengers - and this experience starts with you. A great Security Agent at Bristol Airport is energetic, motivated and willing to serve customers. The working environment can be very social: during one shift, you’ll encounter hundreds, even thousands of passengers - and being committed to delivering a great customer service to all is what we’re looking for. This is a job where you’ll need to be in good physical condition as you’ll spend a lot of time standing, bending and moving trays and bags or walking lengthy distances. You’ll need to adopt a flexible approach to your working hours too as we operate a 24/7 operation which includes early mornings, evenings, weekends and bank holidays. The work is done in shifts which take place around the clock, and they can last from four to twelve hours, with morning shifts starting as early at 1am.
Understandably given the nature of our business, everyone who is employed at Bristol Airport must undergo a rigorous referencing and vetting process. We will need different information depending on the job we have offered you. For all roles we'll carry out a criminal record check to confirm you do not have any live or unspent convictions (this is called a basic Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check or basic disclosure). It's important to know that if you have resided in another country or countries for 6 months or longer, you'll need to get criminal record checks from all the relevant countries to cover the last five years.
