Coast & Country creates 60 new jobs with Redcar security firm

Coast & Country is partnering with Redcar-based Coastline Security to offer employment opportunities to the region.

The security firm, which has only been in business for two years, has 60 available vacancies now and up to 200 additional positions in the next 12 months.

The recruitment drive follows the company’s contract wins to provide Security Industry Authority (SIA)-licenced staff at 44 events this year.

Coastline Security has been keen to work with Coast & Country’s employability service because of its supposed social value ethos.

The partnership will allow the companies to invest in local people, and commit to developing the skills of the industry’s future workforce.

Johanna Watts, employer engagement officer at Coast & Country, said: “We value the many partnerships that we have at Coast & Country, as it is crucial for local and national companies to collaborate and invest in career prospects for people in our region.

“These opportunities can secure employment for willing and enthusiastic candidates, and they ultimately contribute to the future success of the local economy.”

Each successful candidate will receive an SIA training package worth £600, which will include a fully-funded SIA Licenced Door Supervisor Course.

Kevan Garbutt, managing director of Coastline Security, added: “It is fantastic that we can work with another local business, like Coast & Country, to support our community and provide job opportunities for unemployed people in the Redcar and Cleveland area.

“Our existing team has a welcoming, family feel to it, and we are looking for eager individuals who have the right attitude and work ethic to join us.”
