At GSTS, we recognise the value of diversity, promote equality, and challenge unfair discrimination. We are committed to recruiting the most qualified individuals and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds – including men and women, all ages, sexual orientations, nationalities, religions, and beliefs.
However, we particularly encourage female applicants, as women are underrepresented in the security industry.
As GSTS continues to expand and grow, we are looking to recruit talented individuals who want to join us on our journey. We have an exciting opportunity for a CCTV Operator within our Security Control Room at Manchester University Hospital.
