Once you’ve completed your training, you’ll know your shifts 12 months in advance, so you can plan around them. Swaps are often possible, providing even greater flexibility, but it's important that you're available for all shifts on the pattern you apply for.
Like everyone here, you‘ll be passionate about creating the best Heathrow experience for all our passengers. Throughout each shift, you’ll be greeting people, patrolling the airport, monitoring secure areas and generally putting everyone at ease.
You’ll also be carrying out searches and safety checks on passengers, colleagues, and the items they bring through the airport. Our Security Officers only search people of their own gender, of course. Which is why we recruit separately for male and female roles.
Yours will be the friendly face that offers passengers a warm welcome as well as a constant reassuring presence, alert to everything that's going on around you, ready to spot potential threats and responding rapidly if and when you do.
What you can expect in return
With our new package, you'll receive £14.21 an hour when you join. You’ll then receive salary increases on your first and second-year work anniversaries, taking your hourly rate to at least £15.23 once you have been with us for two years. That means you can have clarity and confidence about the pay you’ll receive throughout your first 24 months at Heathrow.
There are lots of other great benefits on top of that too.
You’ll also get:
Travelling to work
