At Carter Security, we understand the challenges that working parents face when trying to balance family life with a rewarding career. For many, the idea of a traditional 9-to-5 job simply doesn’t fit with the demands of school runs, after-school clubs, and spending quality time with loved ones. That’s why a career in security can be a fantastic option for those who need more flexibility in their working hours.
A role with Carter Security isn’t just a job; it’s a lifestyle that offers real benefits when it comes to finding that elusive work-life balance. Our 4 on, 4 off shift pattern may initially seem challenging to some, but for many of our team, it’s the perfect solution. With four consecutive days on duty followed by four days off, this structure provides ample time to rest, recharge, and most importantly, spend time with your family.
The Benefits of a Career in Security for Parents
One of the greatest perks of this shift pattern is the flexibility it offers around school pick-ups and drop-offs. Many of our team members find that working shifts during evenings and nights frees up time during the day, allowing them to manage their family commitments more effectively. Rather than juggling last-minute childcare arrangements or rushing to meet school timetables, a career with Carter Security offers a sense of routine that can be structured around your family’s needs.
Moreover, those four days off often feel like a mini ‘weekend’ in themselves. Imagine spending four consecutive days enjoying time with your children, relaxing at home, or catching up on personal projects. For many of our security professionals, this extended downtime has been a game-changer when it comes to maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
