Airport jobs
James Green, 26, security officer
‘After I left college, I worked for a security company abroad. I wanted to come back to the UK so I applied for a job as a security officer at Heathrow. It’s our job to keep passengers and staff safe at all times. I meet passengers from all over the world every day and help them with their problems. People are usually friendly, but sometimes they get angry, especially if there are long queues or delays.’
Teresa Jones, 30, service manager
‘My job is to help passengers have a good journey through the airport terminal, from Arrivals to Departures. I talk to people all day and I’m tired in the evening. But it’s also very exciting, because it changes all the time. One minute you are making new travel arrangements for passengers, and the next minute you are dealing with a problem at passport control. The only bad thing about my job is getting up very early.’
