Full Job Description

Description:

The Worcester Art Museum is looking for a part-time Security Guard to join the Security team and play a key role in keeping the Museum safe, secure, and running smoothly around the clock. Schedules include nights, overnights, weekends, and some holidays, so flexibility is essential. This role is a great fit for someone with prior security, monitoring, or dispatch-style experience who is comfortable working independently within a structured, procedure driven environment.

This role is primarily based in a control room, where you’ll monitor security cameras and critical building systems such as intrusion alarms, fire alarms, access control, and climate control. You’ll manage staff, vendor, and contractor access, log deliveries, complete shift reports, and perform regular rounds of the building. You’ll also be responsible for identifying situations that don’t look right—such as system alerts, safety concerns, or unexpected activity—and taking appropriate first steps by following established procedures and escalating concerns as needed. In many cases, you are the starting point for emergency response coordination, including contacting management or emergency services when required.

The ideal candidate can work independently, stay detail oriented, and use sound judgment while following written procedures. You should be comfortable identifying issues, communicating clearly by phone, radio, and in writing, and remaining calm while following procedures in urgent situations, including during overnight shifts. This role is well suited for someone who is reliable, proactive, and able to manage their responsibilities during quieter periods, while also working collaboratively as part of a small, close knit team. Experience in security operations, system monitoring, dispatch, or a similar environment is strongly preferred.

Position Title: Security Guard

Employment Type: Part-time, non-exempt

Department: Security

Division: Operations

Reports to: Security Operations Manager

Supervisory Responsibilities: None

Salary Range: Starting rate $16.25 hourly

Requirements:

Key Requirements:

Comfort with technology: Comfortable learning and using monitoring tools, email, and related systems.
Strong attention to detail: Able to monitor systems, complete rounds, and spot irregularities or safety issues.
Adaptability and resilience: Stays calm, flexible, and responsive when priorities change.
Strong communication skills: Clear communication by phone, radio, and in writing with staff and vendors; limited public interaction.
Team collaboration: Works well with a small team and partners across departments.
Relevant experience: Security or system-monitoring experience preferred; related facilities or customer-service experience also valued.
Must be 21 years of age or older

Physical Requirements

This role includes regular movement throughout the building as part of routine safety rounds. Candidates must be able to walk long distances, use stairs, and remain in a standing or seated position for extended periods while monitoring systems and performing assigned duties, with or without reasonable accommodation.
