ICTS works in partnership with Bristol Airport, delivering security services to its 9 million
passengers. As an airport Security Agent, you will join a carefully selected and trained team of
agents responsible for delivering an outstanding customer experience whilst maintaining the safety
and integrity of the airport, its passengers and staff. Whether it’s using specialist detectors and X-ray
devices to screen and scan passengers and their hand luggage, or verifying the identity of crew and
airport staff, one thing is for sure – this is a customer service job with a difference. Teamwork,
personality and a positive attitude are essential. In this role some of your main responsibilities will

- Carrying out ID and boarding card checks
- Searching customers, staff, airline crew and business partners
- Carrying our security checks on cabin baggage
- Operating security equipment such as body scanner and X-ray machines
About you
The airport is well-known for delivering an award-winning customer experience to its passengers -
and this experience starts with you. A great Security Agent at Bristol Airport is energetic, motivated
and willing to serve customers. The working environment can be very social: during one shift, you’ll
encounter hundreds, even thousands of passengers - and being committed to delivering a great
customer service to all is what we’re looking for. This is a job where you’ll need to be in good
physical condition as you’ll spend a lot of time standing, bending and moving trays and bags or
walking lengthy distances. You’ll need to adopt a flexible approach to your working hours too as we
operate a 24/7 operation which includes early mornings, evenings, weekends and bank holidays.
The work is done in shifts which take place around the clock, and they can last from four to twelve
hours, with morning shifts starting as early at 1am.
Understandably given the nature of our business, everyone who is employed at Bristol Airport must
undergo a rigorous referencing and vetting process. We will need different information depending on
the job we have offered you. For all roles we'll carry out a criminal record check to confirm you do
not have any live or unspent convictions (this is called a basic Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)
check or basic disclosure). It's important to know that if you have resided in another country or
countries for 6 months or longer, you'll need to get criminal record checks from all the relevant
countries to cover the last five years.
Why work for us?
You will be joining a dynamic and established Company with over 30 years of success in the
business. Business growth across all sectors, together with a rich curriculum of training programmes
(Such as alternative passenger pre-screening methods and First Aid at work courses), offer
opportunities for career progression and job satisfaction. We value our colleagues: they are us
greatest asset.
By joining ICTS you will be a part of a forward-thinking team. We employ 4,000+ staff hailing from
every continent of the world; with at least 60 different spoken languages. Collaboration and team
spirit lie at the heart of our operational ethos. We are also looking at ways of encouraging women in
Security and are proud to be registered on the Armed Forces Covenant, supporting ex-servicemen
and women. You will be entitled to multiple benefits and Company incentives. Here are some of the
