What Jobs Can You Do With a Door Supervisor Licence?

The classic Door Supervisor role: pubs, bars, nightclubs and members' clubs. Typically evening and weekend shifts, higher hourly rates than static guarding.

Hotel security combines front-of-house presence with responding to disturbances, evacuations and guest incidents. Often shift-based with a full uniform.

Stadium concerts, festivals, conferences and touring events all use SIA-licensed door supervisors for entrance, backstage and crowd-facing roles. Pairing this licence with the Level 2 Certificate in Spectator Safety opens more stadium and match-day work.

Shopping centres, department stores and supermarkets employ Door Supervisors alongside Security Guards. Front-door presence, uniformed patrol and loss-prevention support are all common.

NHS trusts employ Door Supervisors in A&E, mental health units and main entrances. Often permanent roles with anti-social hours premiums.

Investment banks, law firms and technology headquarters hire SIA-licensed corporate concierges. These roles pair a smart uniform with reception duties and are typically permanent, weekday and better-paid than pub work.

Because the Door Supervisor licence covers everything the Security Guard licence covers, you can also work static guarding, warehousing, construction sites and corporate offices where a Security Guard licence would be enough.
