I was recently advised regarding the below Head of Security post, it sounds quite interesting:

Westminster Abbey are seeking to appoint an experienced security professional who has managed in-house security operations at high profile locations which attract large volumes of visitors on a daily basis. The successful applicant should have extensive knowlege of physical security and public safety best practice, be fully conversant with regulatory legislation and have an ability to motivate, inform and support the development of the security function.
