Market Constable (Security/Enforcement Team Member)

Location: Billingsgate

About us

New Spitalfields Market, Billingsgate and Smithfield are three world-famous wholesale food markets owned and managed by the City of London Corporation. We provide and maintain the sites and their infrastructure and let out trading space. Plans are now underway to bring all three markets together at a single 42-acre site in Dagenham Dock and establish a world-class wholesale food location for London and the UK.

The role

Creating a safe, secure and well-regulated trading environment 24 hours a day is a major challenge. As a key member of our security team, you will maintain order, prevent and detect crime, and assist with traffic regulation. This includes dealing with enquiries and complaints, monitoring CCTV, carrying out patrols on foot, testing fire protection systems and procedures, and delivering first aid. Building good relationships with market tenants and customers will be at the heart of your success. You’ll work 8 hour shifts to provide 24/7 cover, 365 days a year.

About you

You’re likely to have significant security or enforcement experience. Being able to deal calmly with emergency situations and confrontations is important, and you must also have good customer service skills. You’ll be certified in First Aid at Work and the use of a de-fibrillator and will have a good knowledge of fire safety, CCTV and ANPR. You will also have the ability to use a computer to undertake basic administration and write short reports.
