Abstract: Abstract A number of people in the labour market undertake roles that might be best described as protection work. Some of these jobs have evolved to reflect developments in technology and a concern for personal well-being. Included in the four narratives are police and security work, or those traditionally charged with protecting people and property. Also included is a financial planner entrusted with the protection of the wealth and financial wellbeing of individuals and their families, and a chauffeur engaged in protecting the personal safety and secrets of politicians and dignitaries. In these occupations elements of service, servitude, discretion and demeanour are as important as the more obvious aspects of their roles.
