Protective Services Careers
Each day brings new opportunities and experiences working in the world of Protective Services. Just like our hospital, Protective Services operates 24/7, 365 days a year, keeping Nationwide Children’s a safe place every day. Our officers are highly respected, well-trained and considered a collaborative partner in the patient care team.
Our Protective Services team earned the “Program of Distinction” Security Department Accreditation, through the International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety. All of our officers have earned at least one of the accreditations that are offered by the Association. Our team of around 150 staff members is composed of former/retired military personnel, college graduates and current and former law enforcement personnel.
We are proud to have a professional staff whose main passion is serving and assisting our patients, families and employees while helping to maintain a safe and secure environment for all.
