High demand, good pay, flexible work

The UK security industry is experiencing a critical shortage of licensed professionals, especially in nightlife, retail, and event security. This shortage means employers are actively hiring and often competing for reliable, qualified door supervisors with valid SIA door supervisor licences. It's one of the few sectors where you can qualify in under a week and start earning immediately.

What this means for you:

Immediate job opportunities available
Higher pay than most entry-level jobs
Flexible working hours and diverse locations

Your earning potential:

Part-time: £1,500–£2,500 per month

Completed the DS Top up course with Get licensed and passed. Adame who trained us was great, very professional and down to earth guy. Even though he’s had various jobs and years of experience in security he just treats you like a equal, no better than anyone attitude which is good. Professional training by trainers who WANT you to pass not a back street company. Will be definitely back again for further training. Thank you.

Not sure where to start?
We'll clear it up!

A door supervisor is licensed to work in venues that serve alcohol—like bars, nightclubs, and festivals—where managing entry, crowd control, and incidents is crucial. A security guard, on the other hand, cannot work in licensed venues and is typically based in offices, retail stores, or warehouses. Door supervisors receive extra training in physical intervention, making their role more specialised.

Most door supervisors earn between £12 and £23 per hour, depending on location, experience, and type of venue. Roles in high-risk environments or requiring extra qualifications (like close protection) can pay significantly more.

A Door Supervisor can work in licensed premises, such as nightclubs, bars, hotels, and event venues, as well as in retail stores, corporate buildings, festivals, and stadium security.

You don’t need to be an athlete, but good general fitness helps. You should be able to stay alert during long shifts, stay calm under pressure, and handle physical intervention safely if required. Endurance, awareness, and composure matter more than brute strength.

Once you complete your training and pass the exams, the SIA licence application typically takes 2 to 6 weeks to process.

The SIA licence application fee is £184. This does not include training cost.

The exam covers multiple-choice questions and practical scenarios, including conflict management and physical intervention. With proper course attendance and preparation, most people pass on their first try. Get Licensed also offers free exam retakes to support learners.

You can download the GuardPass app, create your profile, and apply for security jobs with top employers. GuardPass connects licensed security professionals with leading security companies in the UK.

Yes. While the term 'bouncer' is commonly used, a door supervisor is the legal, SIA-recognised term. Bouncers often refer to unlicensed security staff, whereas Door Supervisors are fully trained and licensed professionals.

No, being muscular is not a requirement for becoming a door supervisor. Security work is about awareness, communication, and conflict resolution rather than physical strength. Training in de-escalation, conflict resolution, and situational awareness is more valuable than sheer size.

Complete your training and get certified without taking time off during weekdays. Our weekend courses run on Saturdays and Sundays over three consecutive weekends.

Please note: Weekend courses are only available in selected locations. Look for the

label to confirm if it’s available in the location you are searching for.
