The facility also includes several clinics and office buildings located off the main campus. The Safety & Security Supervisor may work in all of these areas. The working environment, while generally pleasant, requires that this person be able to complete rounds, which consist of extensive walking. Working hours are usually during the day, but may fluctuate, depending on various situations and workload. This position may be required to work at any hour of the day or night to maintain a safe and secure environment for patients, visitors, and staff.
