You will need to hold a valid SIA Door Supervisor licence - if you don't have this you can still be considered as a Steward, so please see our other opportunities on the website. Our recruitment and selection process will include a face to face interview, once the application has been submitted you will then be able to book an interview slot at our forthcoming recruitment day.

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.
