CAREERS

The standard of our training depends  on the standard of our people.

Stand2 has delivered conflict management, personal safety, and physical intervention training to NHS trusts, ambulance services, probation services, and some of the most demanding organisations in the UK and across the globe for over 25 years. The standard of our training depends entirely on the standard of our people. That’s why we’re selective about who joins us – and why the people who do tend to stay.

01.LIFE AT STAND2

A small team. High standards. Work that matters.

Stand2 is not a large organisation. We’re a close-knit team of experienced professionals who care deeply about the quality of what we deliver and the difference it makes to the people we train. That means the culture here is defined less by policies and perks and more by shared standards, mutual respect, and a genuine commitment to doing things properly.

If you’re looking for a large corporate environment with a structured career ladder, Stand2 probably isn’t the right fit. If you’re looking for a place where your work has real impact, where standards are taken seriously, and where the people around you genuinely know what they’re doing – we’d like to hear from you.

02.OUR VALUES

01.

We Care Deeply – We genuinely care about the wellbeing, development, and success of everyone we work with.

02.

We Are Credible – Our trainers are among the most experienced and respected in the sector.

03.

We Never Compromise – We hold ourselves to the highest standards in everything we design and deliver. If it falls
short of our standards, it doesn’t carry our name.

“Success isn’t measured by the number of people we train. It’s measured by the confidence they gain, the decisions they make under pressure and the reassurance that they’re better prepared for whatever their working day demands.”

Excellent. Done a few courses over the years regarding conflict management and this was the best. Relaxed teaching and no one was afraid to make a mistake or ask any questions. Enjoyed this much more than my recent SIA renewal in all honesty.

Really thoughtful and experienced teachers. After the training I felt really confident in conflict resolution and physical intervention. Thank you now I know how to protect myself, the general public and my organisation if a situation comes up.

Very well structured course and effectively taught. Techniques and solutions were very helpful.

Very good! Other security companys should learn this Easy to learn


Fantastic course, gave a really easy to remember process for handling conflict management. Trainers were great, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Really course, tutors were great especially Chris who made it fun and interactive

Really enjoyed the training Dave and Chris are very engaging

Engaging PowerPoint, really good instructors, time to practice techniques

I recently completed training at Stand2 and had a great experience. The course was well organised, engaging and delivered by Chris C, who explained everything clearly using practical, real-life examples. The training has given me greater confidence in managing conflict, assessing risk, and keeping myself and others safe. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to develop these important skills.
