Search - Job Types - Security and Uniformed Services Summary

Security work is involved in the protection of people and property.

Entry and training requirements depend on the level of entry and occupation. For instance, it is possible to join the Armed Forces in a junior rank with no educational qualifications, whereas a candidate for officer selection needs at least two A levels/H grades before advancing onto military training.

Police officers begin their careers at a police training centre and have to pass a two-year probationary period. For some areas of work a professional qualification is needed.

Military training is highly structured, and many civilian jobs offer opportunities such as Apprenticeship schemes linked to NVQs, BTEC qualifications and even degrees in areas such as policing studies or security management.

Career development is a key feature of most occupations within this sector, with organisations providing ongoing training.
