The online application form enables you to complete all aspects of your personal details, career history, licence details (where applicable), your CV and your proof of ID documents. By completing our online application form. If you are successful through our selection processes, completing our online application form will speed up the vetting and on-boarding processes, which means you will be able to work for Ward sooner.

If you are not able to apply online, you may send your CV to the HR department @ HRQueries@ward-security.co.uk, however, to progress for vetting purposes we would need an online application form completed to move you into vetting.

As soon as you commence the first page of the online application form, our system will allocate you a Unique Reference Number (URN). You will receive an automated mail with your URN and a link to your application form. This URN is how you will be able to log-in and continue or upload documents onto your application form.

If you do call the HR department to request any help or support on your application, you will need to quote your name and URN.

Our recruitment and operations teams will review your application and will place your application into a status (for example, invite for interview, not suitable for current role). Once the status has been updated, our system will automatically send you an email to inform you of the progress of your application, so please do check your in-box.

If you are invited to attend an interview, a member of the team will call you to check your availability and follow this up on email to you.

We aim to let you know as soon as we can once your application has been reviewed. If you haven’t heard from us within 2 weeks, and if your application is not successful, you will receive an email to notify you of this.

We will review your application and where we can, place you in our talent pool, to match you for other or future vacancies. However, we would recommend you visit our careers page regularly to see what new vacancies there are, and apply for those based on the vacancy reference number.

You can apply for as many vacancies as you wish.

Yes, as we are an ACS accredited company (Approved Contractor Scheme), we have to stand head and shoulders above the ‘norm’ and ensure all our employees are vetted to British Standard 7858. This entails proof of ID, 3-5 year career history and character and employer references. Our vetting partners conduct these checks for us and once vetted, which ordinarily takes 1-5 days at provisional stage, you are then ready to start work for us.

All right to work checks are undertaken as part of the interview or new starter process.

Yes, we vet all employees to ensure we can retain our ACS accreditation.

Yes, as long as you can evidence you have applied, and prior to a successful outcome, you have an active SIA licence to commence work with us.

Yes, we are always keen to support applicants to gain their SIA Licence, and we will be, in the near future, offering training to enable applicants to acquire an SIA Licence, which is also a route into our employment. So we would be happy to sponsor you to gain your SIA Licence and join us.

We also offer an SIA Licence savings scheme, which can help with the initial cost of gaining an SIA Licence (current cost is £220). This would form part of your employment journey into us.

We would hope if any of our employees have encouraged or referred you to apply to come and work for us, they would do so knowing you would be a great fit for our culture.

Your application is judged on having the right skills and experience for the vacancy you have applied for, and this is what your application will be selected on.

However, if you are successful, and a current employee has referred you, once you have completed your six months probationary period, your friend, colleague, family member who referred you, would be entitled to receive £200 for the referral! So be sure to let your Interviewer know this so we can reward the referral.

Ok, so we want to see if you have the right skills and experience. However, it’s really important to us that the people who represent us are customer-focused and can reflect our high standards.
