Rationale for Two Weeks of Security Training:

• New employees complete two weeks of training in the Security Department to ensure they gain sufficient hands-on experience with patient admissions.
• During the day shift, we average 5–10 patient admissions per day, providing trainees with frequent opportunities to learn and practice the admission process.
• In contrast, the night shift may only see 5–10 admissions over an entire week, and on the three nights a trainee works, there may be no admissions at all.
• Scheduling two weeks of daytime security training helps ensure new employees receive adequate exposure and develop the knowledge and confidence needed to perform the job independently.

Under general supervision, this position performs institutional security duties, including patient admissions screening, access control, facility patrols, emergency response, and security documentation.
• Responsibilities include assisting with patient admissions by conducting security screenings, inspecting and documenting patient belongings, monitoring facility entrances and exits, responding to emergencies and code situations, and communicating security concerns to supervisors and law enforcement agencies.
• The employee must be flexible to work assigned shifts and complete the required new employee training schedule before transitioning to the regular night shift.

• Security and Access Control: Ability to monitor entrances and exits, verify identification, control visitor access, and escort individuals when necessary.
• Patient Screening: Ability to assist with patient admissions, operate metal detectors, conduct pat-down screenings according to established policies, and document patient belongings.

• Experience responding to emergencies, handling security incidents, and communicating with law enforcement is beneficial.
• Healthcare, hospital, behavioral health, or patient admissions security experience is a plus.
