We are looking for a highly motivated CCTV Operator to join our Community Safety Team. This is an important role where you will play a key part in helping to keep our communities safe, supporting emergency responses, and other partner agencies to prevent and detect crime and anti-social behaviour. 

Based within our CCTV control room, you will monitor live and recorded footage, respond to incidents as they occur and provide accurate evidence and intelligence to authorised partners. No two shifts are the same so you will need excellent attention to detail, strong communication skills and the ability to manage multiple activities simultaneously and while remaining calm and professional in challenging situations 

As a CCTV Operator, you will: 

• Monitor public space CCTV Cameras and associated systems in accordance with legislation, operational procedures and relevant codes of practice. 


• Identify and respond to incidents involving public safety, anti-social behaviour, criminal activity and vulnerable individuals. 


• Work closely and communicate effectively with Police Scotland, other emergency services, internal teams and other partner agencies. 


• Ensure all CCTV activity complies with GDPR, Human Rights, Data Protection Legislation and relevant CCTV Codes of Practice. 


• Maintain accurate and comprehensive logs, incident reports and evidential records.


• Review, retrieve and prepare CCTV footage for authorised disclosure in line with relevant requirements. 


• Operate all CCTV equipment, radio systems and other associated technologies confidently and effectively.


• Contribute to wider community safety and crime reduction initiatives, helping to create safer places for everyone.

This is a role where your observations, decisions and actions can make a genuine difference. Whether identifying an incident as it unfolds, supporting emergency services or providing vital evidence to assist an investigation, you will be an integral part of our wider community safety response.

The successful applicant will be subject to the Council’s Standard Disclosure checks, and this post will require an enhanced Police vetting check. Please note that an offer of employment will not be made until all required checks have been successfully completed.

If you are shortlisted you will be invited to attend a face-to-face assessment centre, where you will have the opportunity to demonstrate the skills and attributes required for the role through a combination of practical exercises. 

We have opportunities within the team on a full time or part time basis working a rotating shift-pattern covering 365 days a year, including bank holidays and unsociable hours. The appropriate shift allowance will apply. 

Full-time hours are 35 hours per week over 7 days.

If you would like an informal discussion about the role, please contact Scott Crowe on 01786 233533. 

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcome applications from all sections of our community. 

If you’ve got the right skills for the job we want to hear from you. We encourage applications from the right candidates regardless of age (restrictions apply to Modern Apprenticeships), disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, belief or race. 

If you are successful and progress to the next stage our assessment centre will take place in person on Tuesday 15th September 2026.
