Is CCTV Security in Plymouth a good job?

Plymouth is packed with culture, events and shopping, all of which needs to be kept secure. But more than that, Plymouth also has a strong industrial sector, as well as an active harbour where goods enter and leave the UK all the time. Camera surveillance is important to countless Plymouth businesses, and the council, to ensure the safety of people and property. You can expect your CCTV Operator skills to be hugely employable and in very high demand.

The brilliant thing about the security industry is that it suits so many different kinds of people. While Door Supervisors courses are more suited to night owls or physically active people, for example, CCTV training leads to good jobs for people who show a natural attention to detail.

If you're great at spotting body language, have a talent for knowing what people are up to even if they think you don't see it, or know how to split your focus between lots of different places to look at once, CCTV jobs are a brilliant choice.

While it's less physically demanding than other security work, the challenges in CCTV are instead about staying alert. You also need a good sense of what's morally right, because if you choose to follow someone by camera, you need to be able to justify why they caught your attention.

For example:

✔️ A customer sneaked an item from a store shelf into their bag

✔️ An employee is standing for a long time by the office cash box, looking around to check if anyone can see them

✔️ An argument is becoming physically violent

You'll learn more about CCTV best practices on the course. Businesses of all kinds are bringing more and more cameras into their security strategies, and that means this is a growing job market to move into once you have your CCTV Operator Licence.
