Frequently Asked Questions

What sectors can I work in with an SIA Security Guard licence?

An SIA Security Guard licence permits work in a wide range of environments including retail, construction, corporate offices, warehouses, transport hubs, hospitals and events. It does not permit working on licensed premises, where a Door Supervisor licence is required.

What is the difference between a Door Supervisor and a Security Guard licence?

An SIA Door Supervisor licence permits you to work in licensed premises and undertake physical intervention if required. A Security Guard licence does not permit work in licensed premises or physical intervention. Many door supervisor roles will not accept a Security Guard licence.

How does the application process work?

Register free, build your profile (takes around 20 minutes), and your SIA licence is verified by our team within 24 hours. Once verified, you can apply to any role with a single click. Your profile — including employment history, references and documents — is shared with the employer automatically.

What pay can I expect as a door supervisor?

Door supervisor pay in the UK typically ranges from £13 to £18 per hour depending on location, sector and experience. London and major cities generally command higher rates. Close protection and specialist venue work can pay significantly more. Roles listed on this platform always display the pay rate before you apply.

Can I hold a Door Supervisor and CCTV Operator licence at the same time?

Yes. Many security professionals hold multiple SIA licence types. You can add all your licences to your UKSecurityJobs profile, which increases the number of roles you can apply for across the platform.
