About this role
Walden Security is hiring a part-time Security Officer for Friday and Saturday nights (11 p.m. to 7 a.m.) at a Lawrenceburg, Kentucky location. You'll monitor and patrol industrial and commercial properties—ranging from office buildings and distilleries to hospitals and manufacturing facilities—to prevent unauthorized access, detect suspicious activity, and ensure compliance with safety policies. The role demands strong observational skills, the ability to stay calm under pressure, and proficiency with security systems and basic office technology. You'll need to stand and patrol for extended periods and pass a background check, drug test, and motor vehicle records check.
A high school diploma or GED and minimum age of 25 are required; prior security, law enforcement, or military experience is preferred but not required, as Walden provides comprehensive training leading to Security Officer Certification. The company has won recognition from Training Magazine for its learning and development programs. At $18 per hour, this is entry-level pay, though the role qualifies for benefits if you average at least 32 hours per week across the company's shifts, including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), paid time off, tuition reimbursement, and an employee assistance program.
This position suits someone seeking flexible part-time work with a structured schedule, willing to work overnight shifts, and interested in breaking into security with formal training and potential advancement. Walden emphasizes promoting from within and offers recognition programs and career growth opportunities for dedicated employees.
