Avoris Consultancy Ltd is recruiting two unarmed security guards in Abuja. The successful candidates will be employed directly by the clients: one for a private family residence and one for premium serviced residences. The salary range stated is ₦50,000 – ₦100,000 per month. Both roles require living on site under a weekly shift system.
The two posts and what the work looks like
There are two openings.
Residential Security Guard – private family residence. The main tasks are controlling the gate, admitting only authorised residents, guests, visitors, staff and deliveries, keeping accurate visitor, vehicle and delivery logs, patrolling the premises, checking the perimeter, doors, lighting and equipment, reporting incidents, faults and suspicious activity promptly, and following post orders, emergency procedures and the code of conduct.
Security Guard – premium serviced residences. The same core duties apply, with the added expectation of welcoming guests courteously and working with housekeeping and facility staff.
Both positions are unarmed. Work arrangement beyond living on site is not stated in the listing. Employment type is not stated.
What the employer is looking for
The listing requires:
- Previous experience as a security guard, gateman or in a similar role
- SSCE minimum; able to read, write and keep simple records in English
- Honest, alert, discreet and polite
- Willing to live on site (weekly shift system)
Experience of 2 years is also noted. Documents required are not stated in the listing.
Who tends to fit this work – and who may struggle
These roles suit people who already have hands-on gate or premises security experience, can keep clear written logs, stay alert through long shifts, and are comfortable living on the property for the weekly shift cycle. The residential post is quieter and more family-focused; the serviced-residences post involves more guest interaction and coordination with other staff.
Someone who needs to return home every day, who finds long periods of standing or night duties difficult, or who has never kept visitor or vehicle records may find the conditions harder to manage.
Practical points for your CV and any interview
These points are AlertNaija247 guidance only and are not official requirements.
- Open the experience section with the exact type of site you guarded (private house, estate, office, hotel, etc.) and the length of time you spent on gate or patrol duties.
- Mention any log books or visitor registers you maintained and how you recorded vehicles or deliveries.
- If you have lived on site before or worked weekly shifts, state it clearly so the employer can see you already understand that arrangement.
- For the serviced-residences post, note any previous work where you welcomed guests or coordinated with cleaners or facility teams.
- Keep the CV to one or two pages, plain language, and free of heavy graphics. The free AlertNaija247 CV Builder can produce a clean PDF if you need one.
One honest question to ask yourself before applying: Am I prepared to live on the premises under a weekly shift system and stay alert while controlling access and keeping accurate logs for a private household or serviced residences? If the answer is uncertain, this role may not match your current circumstances.
How to apply
Interested and qualified candidates should forward their CV to:
talent@avorisconsultancy.com
Use the position as the subject of the email (for example “Residential Security Guard” or “Security Guard – Serviced Residences”).
The listing does not specify any other documents. A current CV is the minimum most employers expect.
Scam caution
Never pay any fee to apply or to “secure” a position. Check that the email address ends with @avorisconsultancy.com before you send your documents. Legitimate employers do not ask for money, airtime or bank details at the application stage. If anything feels off, stop and verify independently.
