Close Protection Officer

Close Protection Officer job (M/F) in Dubai, UAE

Dubai

Job Description

A private family based in Dubai is looking for an experienced and highly professional Close Protection Officer to provide discreet, day-to-day security for the family, with a particular focus on the wife and children.

This is a low-profile private protection position rather than a high-risk or hostile-environment assignment. The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining a safe and secure environment while blending naturally into the family’s daily routine. A calm presence, excellent judgement and strong situational awareness will be just as important as formal security experience.

The ideal candidate will have a distinguished British military background, excellent interpersonal skills and the confidence to provide effective protection without being intrusive or creating an unnecessarily security-focused atmosphere.

Responsibilities

  • Provide discreet personal protection primarily for the wife and children during their daily activities.
  • Accompany the family during local journeys, outings, appointments and travel.
  • Maintain a high level of situational awareness and identify potential security concerns proactively.
  • Conduct basic route planning, venue assessments and environmental checks as required.
  • Monitor entrances, surroundings and public environments while maintaining a discreet profile.
  • Support the family with safe and efficient movement between locations.
  • Respond calmly and appropriately to unexpected situations or changes in circumstances.
  • Maintain a professional yet approachable presence around the children.
  • Work collaboratively with the household team and coordinate security-related matters where appropriate.
  • Oversee household staff and personnel working at the property, ensuring professional standards and appropriate access procedures are maintained.
  • Respect the family’s privacy, routines and confidentiality at all times.
  • Adapt seamlessly to the family’s lifestyle while maintaining professional security standards.

Job Requirements

  • Previous service with the British Army, Royal Marines or another highly regarded British military unit.
  • Solid professional experience in close protection, personal security or a comparable protective role.
  • Excellent situational awareness, observation skills and sound judgement.
  • Calm, composed and capable of making sensible decisions under pressure.
  • Naturally discreet and able to operate effectively without being overly visible.
  • Warm, personable and approachable, with the ability to build a comfortable working relationship with the family.
  • Comfortable working in a private household environment and around young children.
  • Flexible, adaptable and willing to assist as required within the scope of the role.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • A valid driving licence is essential.
  • Impeccable standards of discretion, integrity and professionalism.

Working Conditions

  • Location: Dubai, UAE
  • Schedule: 5–6 days per week
  • Hours: Approximately 10–12 hours per day
  • Start Date: ASAP
  • Visa: Provided
  • Medical Insurance: Provided

Salary

AED 30,000–40,000 per month, depending on experience and suitability.
