The college operates its core learning activities hours from 8 am to 6 pm but also provides evening classes up to 9 pm and has a team of estates personnel that could provide complimentary cover for building security and critical incidents.Security should also cover physical building and services safety and as such should work closely with the Estates team on identifying and recording health and safety compliance issues such as fire escapes, electrical faults, water ingress and leaks, and property damage.The Group has Closed Circuit Television across its campuses and the security provider will be expected to work with the college on access and control of footage used in providing security services to the Group.
