We are looking for dedicated Public Security Officers who are passionate about protecting people, supporting a safe healing environment, and being part of a team that truly makes a difference every day. This is more than a security role—you will be a trusted presence for patients, visitors, and staff, helping ensure safety, compassion, and professionalism across our campus.

Our Security team is highly visible, well-respected, and fully integrated into hospital operations. We work closely with clinical teams, leadership, and emergency responders in a supportive environment where training, teamwork, and professional growth are a priority. If you’re looking for a role where no two days are the same and where your skills can grow, this is the place for you.

What You’ll Do

  • Provide a visible, reassuring presence by performing regular patrols of hospital buildings and grounds
  • Identify and address safety and fire hazards to help maintain a secure environment
  • De-escalate tense, dynamic, and rapidly evolving situations using professionalism and sound judgment
  • Support controlled access by ensuring individuals entering the facility are properly screened
  • Enforce hospital policies and procedures that help protect patients, visitors, staff, and property
  • Respond to emergency situations, including fire alarms and assistance requests, working alongside police, fire, and emergency management teams
  • Support safe and efficient traffic and parking operations, including monitoring parking areas and emergency access routes
  • Assist visitors and staff by providing directions and general support throughout the facility
  • Conduct safety checks and required inspections in compliance with state and federal regulations
  • Partner with hospital leadership and the Public Safety team to support a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment
  • Participate in ongoing training, staff meetings, and professional development opportunities

What We’re Looking For

  • High School Diploma or GED required
  • Basic working knowledge of computers and common software programs
  • Valid, non-restricted driver’s license required
  • Ability to obtain a Kentucky handgun permit after hire
  • Must successfully complete required training and maintain firearms qualification (semi-annual requalification required)
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to respond calmly and effectively in crisis or high-stress situations
  • Ability to interact professionally with patients, families, and individuals who may be distressed or disruptive
  • Team-oriented mindset with a commitment to safety, service, and continuous improvement

What We Offer

  • A supportive, team-focused environment where your role has real impact every day
  • Comprehensive training and ongoing professional development opportunities
  • Exposure to a wide range of safety, emergency response, and healthcare security operations
  • Opportunities to grow within public safety and broader healthcare careers
  • A workplace culture built on teamwork, respect, and shared purpose
