Job Description
Security Officer – Evening Shift | Luxury Senior Living | St. Louis, MO | Part-Time, Daily Pay
The Gatesworth | St. Louis, MO
$18.00/hr | Part-Time | 25 Hours/Week
Schedule: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday & Sunday | 7:00 PM – 12:00 AM (Mon & Fri off)
Now Hiring: Evening Security Officer for St. Louis' premier luxury senior living community.
The Gatesworth is a locally owned, award-winning independent senior living community in St. Louis — named a U.S. News & World Report Best Independent Living Community five years running (2022–2026), and a recipient of the STL Headliner Award. We set the standard for luxury senior living in this city, and that standard extends to how we approach safety and security.
We're looking for a professional, personable Security Officer to help maintain a safe, welcoming environment for our residents, staff, and guests. This is a resident-facing role as much as a security role — you'll be the calm, capable presence our community counts on each evening, conducting rounds, monitoring access and alarm systems, and responding to situations with professionalism and care.
If you have security experience and genuine comfort working with seniors in a high-end residential setting, we'd love to connect.
