Applicant questions
Do I need an SIA licence to apply?
For front-line roles, yes. Security officers, door supervisors, CCTV operators and close protection officers each need the matching SIA licence before they can be deployed. If yours is being renewed, tell us when you apply.
Which roles do you recruit for?
Security officers, door supervisors, concierge and front of house staff, CCTV operators, K9 handlers, close protection officers and chauffeurs. Say which ones you're interested in.
Do I need experience with working dogs?
Only for K9 handler roles, where it's strongly preferred. For every other role it's a bonus, not a requirement.
What checks will you run?
We confirm your identity, your right to work in the UK and your SIA licence before you start, and ask about your previous work.
What shifts are available?
Days, nights and weekends, depending on the site. Door and event work is mostly evenings, and a lot of patrol and K9 work is overnight, so be honest about when you can work.
