Security Department

The Security personnel are the first contact with the visitors. Assisting with the security needs of the House of Worship differs from the way it is perceived in the society at large and the underlying principle of “the nobility of each soul” have to be demonstrated through their behaviour, action and speech during their interactions with the public.   Their duties will include being assigned to a particular post on the property and guiding the public and ensuring that the public remains within appropriate boundaries, managing large crowds during public holidays.

• An ability to offer a minimum of 3 months for short term volunteers with a possibility to extend if necessary.
