We are seeking Casual Security Officers to join our team on a zero-hour contract, primarily supporting outdoor events and festivals across various locations throughout the UK. Many assignments will involve overnight shifts and at certain events, camping on site for the duration of the event.
We currently have upcoming work available between July and September across the London area and the South. These assignments will require camping on site and officers will be expected to provide their own camping equipment. Catering will be provided throughout each event, although the arrangements may vary depending on the event and will be communicated to you in advance.
Flexibility is essential, as you may be required to work across different locations and adapt to varying shift patterns.
Whilst the primary focus of the role will be outdoor events and festivals this summer, there will also be opportunities to work across a variety of other events and venue-based assignments with us throughout the year. This is a diverse and exciting role where no two shifts are the same.

· Monitoring crowd behaviour and identifying potential risks
· Access and entry control, including bag checks or ID verification where required
· Responding to incidents and managing security issues in a professional manner
· Providing support to venue staff to ensure smooth operations
· Delivering excellent customer service, offering guidance and assistance to visitors when needed

· A valid and in-date SIA Door Supervisor licence
· A clean driving licence with access to your own vehicle
· Ideally 2+ years’ experience working as a Security Officer
· Smart, professional appearance and a high level of reliability
· Access to a smartphone for using our online system (scheduling, sign-in/out, and shift bookings)
· Confident and clear spoken English
*Please note - applications without a valid SIA licence or a clean driving licence will not be considered.
We offer opportunities for career progression within the company, including the potential to step into a supervisory role within our operations team or take on project management responsibilities for specific events. We’re looking for someone who is keen to develop and grow with us as the business continues to expand.
Once we have registered your interest via Indeed, we will require to complete our application form and attend an interview (this may be online or in person).
