For operators

The kind of work
we want you to do well.

Vigil Guard is building its founding patrol roster across Australia. Patrol begins in each state once we are licensed, Victoria (PSBL) first, then NSW, QLD, WA, SA. We are collecting expressions of interest now from operators who hold a current state Private Security Individual Licence. In Victoria that is Class 1A Unarmed. If you have driven a kerb before and want the night shift to feel like skilled work instead of standing in a doorway, read on.

Who we want

Calm. Licensed. Awake.

We are not hiring guards to stand still. We're hiring drivers who notice things, write a clear log entry, and can explain to a homeowner what they saw in plain English the next morning. Trade backgrounds welcome. Ex-emergency services welcome. Career security professionals very welcome.

The work

What a shift will look like.

Here is how a shift will run once a state licence is approved. Nothing below is operating yet.

Dusk briefing. Roster, postcode list, vehicle assignment, any active Lookout flags in your area.19:30
Patrol route. Member-requested addresses, drive route optimised, ~2 minute slow pass each. Log + GPS ping per pass.20:00
Member-facing log. Each pass: time-stamp, GPS, all-clear or a plain-English note. Photo of the kerb if the member opted in.ongoing
Standby for a Lookout cluster or a member alert. If a member's panic switch fires it alerts their own contacts and their street with live GPS. Your job is presence on the street, never the front door, never pursuit. In a life-threatening emergency the member calls 000.on call
Dawn sign-off. The night summary will upload to each member's app. You hand the vehicle over and go home.04:30

The code

What we will never ask you to do.

If you've worked night-shift security and been asked to do things that crossed a line, you know why this matters. Read these once. We mean them.

  • N° IOneYou will never impersonate police. Your vehicle is not a divvy van. Your licence ID is visible, never hidden.
  • N° IITwoYou will never enter private property without invitation. Never confront a suspected offender, never pursue. We are a deterrent and a witness, not a force.
  • N° IIIThreeYou will never carry a weapon on duty. Class 1A Unarmed means unarmed. Anyone who breaks this is off the roster the same night.
  • N° IVFourYou will never profile a person. No logging a member's appearance, race, or anything that could be used to profile. Behaviour only. The Lookout rules apply to you too.
  • N° VFiveYou will never work past 10 hours. And never drive after one. Fatigue is a safety issue. We staff for it.

Apply

Expression of interest.

We are collecting interest ahead of licence approval in each state. Roles open as each state goes live, Victoria first. Tell us who you are, where you live, where you currently work if anywhere, and what you'd want from this. We read every one. We reply to every applicant, including no.

We never share your details. We collect interest ahead of licence approval in each state, and roles begin once your state goes live, Victoria first.

Thank you.
We've got it. We will reach out as your state opens, Victoria first. If you hold a current state Private Security Individual Licence, we will keep you close to the front of the roster.
