About Prevail Partners
Prevail Partners is a specialist risk management, intelligence, security, and operational support company delivering discreet, professional and unrelenting excellence to clients operating in complex environments.
As our client portfolio continues to grow, we are seeking exceptional Close Protection Officers to join our expanding team. We are looking for individuals who take genuine pride in their appearance, conduct and professionalism, and who understand that providing security is about far more than physical protection. It is about building trust, demonstrating discretion and delivering a first-class service at all times.
Our teams are trusted to protect people, property, and reputations. Success in this role requires professionalism, discretion, strong judgement, and an unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards.
The Role
We are seeking experienced Close Protection Officers to join a collaborative security team supporting a Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) family and associated household members.
The role requires regular travel throughout the UK and occasional overnight stays. Depending on operational requirements, deployments may last from a single day to extended periods of one week or more.
Working as part of an established protective security team, you will be responsible for delivering close protection services, maintaining situational awareness, identifying emerging risks and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all household members.
This position operates on a shift rotation pattern.
This position offers flexibility in terms of where candidates are based within the UK; however, the successful individual must be able to travel with limited notice whenever business needs require. Given the responsive nature of the role, applicants must have sufficient availability to undertake assignments as they arise and should not have competing full-time employment, security commitments, or other obligations that could affect their ability to mobilise quickly. Candidates are encouraged to consider any professional, personal, or family commitments that may impact their availability, as a high degree of flexibility and readiness to deploy is essential to success in this role.
