Job Description

Description

Security at VOA Spokane is relationship-based and trauma-informed. This means focusing on awareness, empathy, and early intervention—approaching each interaction with respect and a calm, steady presence.


Rather than simply responding to incidents, you play a key role in helping prevent them by building rapport, recognizing needs, and supporting a stable environment.


During evening and overnight shifts your ability to stay composed, make thoughtful decisions, and lead with professionalism and care is essential.
