Front of House Officer

A Front of House Officer has the responsibility of ensuring that staff, as well as visitors, begin their experience at your assignment with a favorable experience. You will be the first line of contact in many cases and will be expected to be pleasant and welcoming. It’s also a very important aspect of security since you may be tasked with verifying the identities and documents of those entering and leaving a specific premise. You should have great communication skills and be detail-oriented. Your level of professionalism must be excellent as even though you are acting in a security capacity you are also the first face that many people entering a building will encounter. You will very much be on the frontline most times.
