RECRUITMENT & SECURITY CAREERS

Support private clients, family offices, executives and organisations across the UK and internationally. Join a trusted network of security, intelligence, investigations and risk management professionals committed to discretion, professionalism and operational excellence.

Become Part of Our Trusted Network

Privat works with a carefully selected network of security, intelligence, investigations, surveillance (physical & technical), cyber security and risk management professionals supporting high profile and high risk private clients, family offices, executives and organisations throughout the UK and internationally.

We are always interested in hearing from exceptional individuals (both male and female) who share our commitment to professionalism, discretion, confidentiality and operational excellence.

Many of our assignments involve working alongside high profile individuals, ultra-high-net-worth families, senior executives, family offices and organisations operating in complex high risk environments where trust, judgement and confidentiality are essential.

Many of our assignments involve supporting not only high profile and high risk individuals, but also family members, children, elderly relatives and other vulnerable individuals.

Success for us is frequently determined by professionalism, emotional intelligence, patience, discretion and the ability to build trust whilst maintaining appropriate security measures.

Personnel supporting family office and private client assignments may be required to work closely with:

Children and young adults
Elderly family members
Vulnerable individuals
Household staff
Personal assistants and executive assistants
Family office personnel
Domestic and residential teams

Applicants should be comfortable operating within private family environments whilst maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, safeguarding awareness, confidentiality and discretion.

We are always interested in hearing from exceptional security, intelligence, investigations and risk management professionals who share our commitment to professionalism, discretion and operational excellence. We carefully select professionals who demonstrate exceptional judgement, integrity and operational excellence.

We Do Not Recruit For Volume

We focus on building long-term relationships with carefully selected professionals capable of operating within discreet, high-trust environments where professionalism, discretion and reliability are critical.

Our objective has never been to build the largest international database of personnel.

Our objective is to build the right network of trusted individuals capable of supporting our high profile and high risk clients to the highest standards globally.

Experience & Professional Standards We Look For

Due to the nature of our clients and assignments, we generally seek individuals with proven operational experience within their chosen discipline.

Preference may be given to applicants with experience in:

Investigations

Risk Management
Cyber Security
Military Service
Law Enforcement
Government Security Organisations

Requirements vary depending on the role and assignment. Additional qualifications, specialist skills and references may be required for certain opportunities.

Whilst many of our personnel come from military, law enforcement and specialist security backgrounds, we also recognise that exceptional people can be found outside of these sectors. We actively consider applications from civilian professionals who demonstrate the right character, professionalism and potential to operate within high-trust environments.

For many client-facing roles, personal qualities can be just as important as operational experience. We value strong communication skills, emotional intelligence, discretion, integrity, sound judgement, cultural awareness, professional etiquette and the ability to represent both our clients and our organisation to the highest standard.

Our clients often include families, children, elderly individuals, senior executives and high-profile public figures. As a result, we seek individuals who combine professionalism with empathy, maturity and a service-oriented mindset. The ability to build trust, maintain confidentiality and operate with discretion is fundamental to every role within Privat.

Above all, we recruit people who demonstrate professionalism, reliability, good judgement and a genuine commitment to delivering exceptional service.

Domestic & International Opportunities

Many of our assignments involve domestic and international travel.

Suitable personnel may have opportunities to support operations throughout:

United Kingdom
Europe
Middle East
Africa
North America
South America
Asia-Pacific

The ability to travel internationally at short notice may be advantageous for certain assignments.

Family Office Security Opportunities

Some of our most trusted personnel support private family offices and ultra-high-net-worth families.

These assignments often involve long-term relationships and require:

Exceptional discretion
Professional presentation
Strong interpersonal skills
International travel capability
Operational flexibility
Excellent judgement
Absolute confidentiality

Family office assignments frequently extend beyond traditional security functions and may involve supporting wider risk management, travel coordination and lifestyle requirements.

Vetting & Screening

Protecting our clients begins with maintaining high standards throughout our recruitment process.

Successful applicants may be required to undergo screening and vetting procedures in accordance with BS7858 standards, client requirements and applicable legislation.

This may include:

Identity verification
Employment history verification
Qualification verification
Reference checks
Address history verification
Right to work verification
Criminal record checks where applicable

Certain clients and assignments may require enhanced screening procedures.

As Privat operates both within the United Kingdom and internationally, vetting requirements may vary depending on the country, client, assignment and regulatory environment. Where individuals have lived, worked or operated overseas, additional verification checks may be required to validate employment history, qualifications, professional licences, criminal record status and other relevant information within the jurisdictions concerned.

For international assignments, clients may also request supplementary screening, security clearances, background investigations, sanctions screening, adverse media checks or assignment-specific due diligence. Where legally permissible, these requirements are managed in accordance with applicable local legislation, privacy regulations and client expectations.

Our objective is to ensure that every individual representing Privat meets the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, reliability and trustworthiness, regardless of where they are deployed.

Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Agreements

Confidentiality is fundamental to the services we provide.

Many of our assignments involve private clients, family offices, senior executives, public figures and sensitive business interests.

Successful applicants may be required to enter into:

Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)
Client Confidentiality Agreements
Information Handling Protocols
Operational Security Agreements

Personnel are expected to maintain the highest standards of professional conduct both during and after assignments.
