Introducing Char Bürdën ❤️
"I have worked in the Security Industry on and off for 10 years and more consistently the last 5 years. Prior to this, I have worked in Social Care, Mental Health Care, a Bailiff, a Detention Officer in Custody and also a Police Officer! My full time job currently is an Account Manager for a Specialist cleaning and window cleaning company. I view myself as a caring, empathetic and assertive person.
The reason I started in Security is because I have always enjoyed the industry including all the challenges it can bring but ultimately, I want people to enjoy their time at an event or venue and make sure they are kept safe when there. Talking to people and changing the perspective of what Security personnel are actually about and breaking down the negative barriers that the media and social media are quick to throw at us. My favourite parts of the job are: door work and events such as concerts, football, rugby, boxing, MMA.
I will work in Security as long as I can I enjoy the work and usually get tasked with higher responsibility roles. I have worked hard to prove my capabilities and ensure my team knows that I have their back in the good and the bad. Team work is paramount in this industry and you have to trust your colleagues and them trust you. Certain tasks are less appealing than others but ultimately every task is there for a reason and of equal importance.
Being a Female in the Security Industry can sometimes benefit me, for example, in hostile situations it can help to diffuse an altercation and also in certain situations it can help females feel safer and like their concerns will be listened to and they will be kept safe. I’ll always tell women wanting to join the Security Industry to do it, many of us have worked hard to prove ourselves as it is an industry we can excel in if you need extra support/guidance/confidence, just ask, we have all been there and we would rather spend that extra time with you than watch you not give it a go or leave.
When I’m not working, I enjoy: Socialising, comedy, camping, holidays abroad, spending time with my family and friends, watching TV, seeing West End shows, going to concerts and Ice skating! I have a long suffering husband – and a nearly 20 year old son, along with 2 dogs and a psycho cat! 😂❤️"
