With nearly 800 employees across the state of California, Block by Block CA is large enough to provide lots of opportunities, but small enough to have your work noticed. Our Mission Statement is as follows: With pride, we make public spaces friendly and vibrant for the communities we serve. Our rapid growth provides endless opportunities for your long-term career, not just your next job. 68% of our management team started in another job within our company, with a vast majority starting out as an Ambassador.

If you love interacting with people in your current environment, but are looking for more variety in your assignments this might be the job for you! Safety Ambassadors are often like the local guardians for good in the places we serve because they: o Maximize visibility in the public right of way to continually greet and find ways to interact with nearly everyone they come into contact with to offer a greeting and friendly conversation. These interactions create awareness of our program and your role, which makes people feel more confident in their safety. o Conduct merchant visits to share event or security related information. o Proactively and compassionately engage socially unacceptable behaviors, such as panhandling, sleeping in a door way or someone acting erratically to discourage and redirect those behaviors. o Help the public see that the space we serve is safe, leading to more return visits and sharing positive experiences. o Professionally represent not only us, but our customer, and they realize we're highly visible and operate in one of our cities' most important fish bowls. o Take ownership of every person's experience in the public space, whether it's a visitor, resident, worker or member of the street population. o Take action when something out of the ordinary happens, which may require escalation to police, fire, EMS or social service outreach professionals. As a Safety Ambassador, no two days are ever the same, but a typical day will likely include the following responsibilities: o Be Visible, and Be Really Friendly: Our job is to be a visible presence and create continual friendly interactions with the people in the public space we serve to be a reassuring, helpful presence. o Keep Moving to Serve as a Deterrent: You'll move through your assigned zone on foot, bike or vehicle, maintaining a visible presence to deter unwanted activity and engage in socially unacceptable behaviors. Of course, this means plenty of walking and standing. o Proactively Address Issues Courteously: We want you to use the training you'll be provided to interact with socially unacceptable behaviors, such as panhandling and disruptive behaviors, in a respectful way. o Ongoing Reporting: Be comfortable using our simple smart phone app to report normal activities and incidents. We might be a great match if: o You already have your state issued security licensure o You love going home every day with the sense of accomplishment that you made your city or someone else's day better. o You have prior experience in private security, customer service or other forms of public service or you want to start your career in these fields. o You like being active. (who doesn't like paid exercise!) o You are looking for a fantastic, second career opportunity (a.k.a. We love retirees!) Maybe not so much if... o You are looking for only a Monday through Friday job. We are busy all day (especially on the weekends) o You only like working indoors o You want to be sitting most of your day. o You don't like people. o You're not 18. Ready to Make a Difference?
