Market Constable (Security/Enforcement Team Member)
Fixed Term Contract until 31 May 2028
Location: Billingsgate (E14)
About us
Billingsgate Market is London’s premier fish Market, owned and managed by the City of London Corporation. We provide and maintain the site and infrastructure that supports over 50 tenant businesses. Plans are now underway to bring all three COL 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 & enforcement team, you will maintain order, prevent/detect crime, enforce site rules, assist with health and safety matters and manage on-site traffic. 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
Ideally you will 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 SIA accredited, certified in First Aid at Work and the use of a de-fibrillator (or be prepared to undergo this training) and will have a good knowledge of fire safety, CCTV and ANPR systems. You will also have the ability to use a computer to undertake basic administration and write short reports.
The City of London Corporation is currently undergoing a programme to ensure that our pay and reward practices are competitive and equitable across the whole organisation, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive in the work that we do.
In addition to a competitive salary and membership of the excellent Local Government Pension Scheme, you can look forward to an all-round package of life-improving benefits and offers – from interest-free season ticket and bicycle loans to discounts on health and wellbeing, arts and culture.
