St Paul's Cathedral is a vibrant church, a national treasure and a London icon and we now seek our next Head of Security and Resilience. We have been the Cathedral Church of the Diocese of London for over 1,400 years and each year, welcome over a million people through our doors; to worship, sightsee, and attend a lively programme of concerts, educational events and performing arts. We provide comfort and commemoration through our national services and stand as an enduring symbol of hope - for those of all faiths and none.
The Head of Security and Resilience is a crucial role for St Paul's, responsible for the delivery of our security and crisis management strategy that ensures that our people, visitors, contractors, buildings, and collections are secure, whilst maintaining a welcoming environment to visitors and worshippers. The Head of Security and Resilience works collaboratively with a variety of stakeholders including emergency services, key national security networks, VVIPs, operational partners and will lead and inspire all those involved in security, resilience and welcome at St Paul's.
We seek candidates with proven leadership in the field of security within a customer-focused environment. You will have led the development of security and resilience-led strategies, policies and processes and be able to prioritise, problem solve and build consensus. You will have worked in complex organisations or stakeholder environments and have excellent commercial awareness. You are likely to have dealt, first hand, with large scale incidents and threats and have demonstrable experience of crisis management. In all that you do, you will be influential, persuasive and calm. In addition, you will share in St Paul's commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
