Entry Level Security Assistant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level security assistant job?
Start by earning a foundational credential like a Security+ certification or a state guard card, since many entry level security assistant employers treat these as a substitute for experience. Highlight any internship, campus security work, military service, or volunteer roles that show reliability and situational awareness. A clean background check and strong references carry significant weight at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level security assistants?
Companies hiring entry level security assistants right now include Unitus Security, Allied Universal, and Longwood University, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring comes from a broad mix of employers, including security services contractors, healthcare facilities, corporate campuses, and retail organizations that consistently bring on junior candidates with little to no prior experience.
Are there remote entry level security assistant jobs?
Yes, though most security assistant roles are on-site by nature. About 0% of entry level security assistant openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and these tend to involve administrative security support, monitoring, or dispatch functions rather than physical presence on a property.
Are these new grad security assistant jobs?
Yes, many of the openings here are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates and candidates with zero to two years of experience. A posting is new-grad friendly when it lists an internship, relevant coursework, or a certification as acceptable in place of full-time work history, making these roles a realistic first step for anyone entering the security field.
Which industries hire the most entry level security assistants?
Entry Level security assistant roles concentrate in Education, Staffing & Recruiting, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at the junior level because they operate large facilities, handle sensitive assets or populations, and need reliable entry level staff to support their broader security programs.
