Security Officer in Rochester, NY

The National Museum of Play at The Strong is expanding! The construction and opening of our 5-story parking garage and upcoming expansion of the museum facility has created opportunities for NYS-licensed Security Officers to join its Security team in a part-time role to fill in for officers taking vacation, staff museum events, and provide additional support during busier periods. Museum security officers conduct frequent tours of the museum building and grounds to protect and safeguard guests, staff and collections by identifying and addressing security concerns, investigating incidents and preparing reports, and providing a visible security presence both in and outside the museum building. The hours for this position will vary but will generally be during the museum’s regular hours of operation with a weekly schedule that averages 15-25 hours. The per diem, flexible schedule for these positions make them ideal for candidates looking to supplement a full-time work schedule or for those looking for a part-time position in an engaging, fun environment.
