Shape the Standards of the Security Industry
SSAIB is the UK's leading certification body for the security and safety sector, trusted by over 2,000 companies nationwide. Our certification is a recognised mark of excellence — and we're looking for a driven professional to help uphold it.
We have an exciting opportunity for a **Full-Time Lead Auditor** to join our team, covering a broad and varied portfolio:
The company currently has a vacancy for a full-time lead auditor to conduct audits for the following activities:
- Security Services — guarding, door supervision, keyholding, mobile patrols, and more
- ISO Management Systems — 9001 (Quality), 14001 (Environmental), and 45001 (Health & Safety)
- SIA Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS) assessments
What You'll Be Doing
You'll conduct third-party certification, surveillance, and recertification audits, playing a central role in maintaining the integrity of the security industry. Working independently and as part of a wider team, you'll ensure every audit meets SSAIB, UKAS, and SIA standards with precision and professionalism.
What We're Looking For
You're a confident, detail-oriented professional with a background in the security industry. Strong report writing skills and comfort with MS Office (Word, Excel) are essential. Prior auditing experience is a bonus, but not a barrier — we provide full training to set you up for success.
The Role & Lifestyle
This is a home-based role with extensive travel across the UK and Ireland, including regular overnight stays — ideal for someone who thrives on variety and autonomy. A valid driving licence is required, and candidates based near the M4 corridor or London are preferred. Some flexibility around working hours, including occasional evenings and weekends, will be needed.
