With 266 guestrooms ranging from cosy rooms to terraced suites overlooking St Pancras, alongside a constant programme of cultural happenings, the hotel has become both a neighbourhood fixture and an international destination.

Our restaurants, bars and rooftop terraces are legendary.

Together, these spaces position The Standard, London as one of the city’s most exciting destinations for events, celebrations and brand experiences.

We are defined by our richness of personality, diversity of background and lifestyle and are now looking for a Duty Security Officer who will embody our 'Anything but Standard' ethos. As part of Hyatt, we're committed to creating an environment where our people feel they belong, can grow, thrive and do their best work.

At the heart of our hotels are of course of people who through their vibrancy and energy bring our properties to life. We are now seeking a team of diverse and dynamic individuals that will capture the very essence of the Standard London to join our team as a Duty Security Officer.

Your role

As a Duty Security Officer at The Standard, London, you'll be one of the people who keeps the show running safely behind the scenes, while remaining front and centre when our guests need you. From patrolling our public spaces and supporting hotel operations to responding to incidents and maintaining a visible presence across the property, you'll help create an environment where guests can relax, explore and enjoy everything The Standard has to offer. Hospitality is at the heart of what we do, so while security is your craft, great guest experiences are always part of the job.

No two shifts are the same. Our Duty Security Officers could be supporting the Front Office team one minute, conducting patrols the next, responding to a guest concern, assisting with an emergency procedure, monitoring CCTV operations or investigating a security incident. You'll be proactive, professional and always aware of what's happening across the building, helping to protect our guests, team members, property and reputation.

We're looking for a Duty Security Officer who brings confidence without ego, professionalism without stiffness, and understands that the best security teams know how to blend vigilance with genuine hospitality. Calm under pressure and naturally observant, you'll play an important part in delivering a safe, secure and welcoming environment that is anything but Standard.
