Security Guard (Mississauga Hospital)
Apply to JobOverview
Healthcare environments are dynamic, fast-paced, and deeply human. As a Security Guard at Mississauga Hospital, you do far more than patrol corridors and monitor alarms. You serve as a reassuring presence for patients, visitors, and medical staff during high-stress moments. By balancing safety protocols with empathy, you play a vital role in keeping this essential community space safe, welcoming, and running smoothly.
Whether you are looking to build a long-term career in healthcare security or gaining practical crisis-management experience for a future in public service, this full-time role offers hands-on training and a clear path for professional growth within Paladin Security.
What Success Looks Like
In this role, success is measured by your ability to maintain a safe environment while treating every individual with dignity and respect. Your day-to-day responsibilities and long-term goals include:
Responding to Emergencies: Quickly and calmly respond to hospital emergency codes, including patient-related distress situations (Code White) and fire alarms (Code Red), collaborating closely with clinical staff to de-escalate tense situations.
Providing Compassionate Assistance: Help patients, visitors, and staff navigate the facility, answer questions, and offer a supportive presence in busy areas like the Emergency Department.
Conducting Active Patrols: Patrol interior and exterior hospital areas to identify safety hazards, unauthorized access, or security vulnerabilities.
Accurate Reporting: Document incidents, daily logs, and maintenance issues with clear, detailed, and objective written reports.
Building Trust: Over time, become a relied-upon partner for clinical and administrative teams through consistent professionalism, reliability, and proactive communication.
What You Bring (Must-Haves)
We train our team to the highest standards in the industry, but we require a solid foundation to start. To be considered for this role, you must have:
A valid Ontario Security Guard License.
A valid First Aid and CPR/AED certificate (Level C).
Strong verbal and written communication skills in English, with the ability to write clear and concise incident reports.
The flexibility to work a rotating schedule (days, afternoons, nights, weekends, and holidays), as hospitals operate 24/7.
Physical capability to stand and walk for extended periods (up to 12 hours) and move quickly during emergency responses.
Immunization records showing proof of two COVID-19 vaccine doses, immunity to Mumps, Measles, Rubella, and Varicella, and a completed two-step TB skin test.
Ability to successfully pass a Vulnerable Sector Check upon hire.
Certification in Use of Force (UOF) and Management of Aggressive Behavior (MOAB). If you do not currently hold these certifications, Paladin will provide this training at no cost to you, subject to a 6-month commitment to the position.
Nice-to-Haves
While not required, the following qualifications will help you stand out:
Prior experience working in security, customer service, or a healthcare setting.
Prior training in non-violent crisis intervention, such as Management of Aggressive Behavior (MOAB) or Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI).
Post-secondary education or coursework in police foundations, law enforcement, criminology, or a healthcare-related field.
