G4S Events Team are looking for SIA (DS) Licensed Officers to join our team, working at Burnley FC and other events in the surrounding areas.  

 Burnley is a key location for G4S Events – not only will you be working at Burnley Football Club, but you will also have an opportunity to be part of broader music and sporting events across the region.

Our Event Security Officers provide a visible reminder that safety is our number one priority for visitors and staff. Which means you could be inside or outside, on your feet showing people where to go, checking tickets at entry, monitoring the crowd and managing the car parking facilities. Wherever you are, you’ll be the fun, helpful and friendly face representing G4S.

As an Events Security Officer you will be responsible for securing the venues, staff and visitors for our customers. This may include:

• Carrying out pre and post event safety checks, ensuring compliance with safe working procedures
• Searching visitors on entry to venues
• Ensuring that no prohibited or restricted items are taken into the secured zones within the venues

You will need to hold your SIA Door Supervisor licence.

Our recruitment and selection process will include a face to face interview, once the application has been submitted a member of our team will be in touch to get this arranged for you.

Given the nature of the industry, we do need to ask some questions for security and compliance purposes, but don’t worry - you will only need to complete them once.
