Job Description
Carer Agency is seeking a dedicated and professional Event Security officer to join our team for a variety of high-profile events across Leeds LS12 and the surrounding West Yorkshire region. This role is perfect for individuals who thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy public-facing work, and are committed to ensuring the safety and security of event attendees, staff, and property. Our clients range from major music festivals and sporting events at Elland Road to corporate conferences and private functions in the city centre. As a trusted Leeds recruitment partner, we understand the specific demands of the local events scene and connect you with employers who value reliability and expertise.
Applying through Carer Agency offers significant advantages over direct applications. We handle the vetting, compliance, and payroll, giving you access to a wider range of Event Security opportunities with a single registration. Our local consultants have established relationships with venues and event organisers across Leeds, meaning we often get notified of roles before they are publicly advertised. Whether you're looking for consistent weekend work, a block of summer festival dates, or a temp-to-perm pathway into a venue's permanent security team, we can match you with the right opportunity. Just as we provide rapid staffing for construction projects, we specialise in fast, reliable placements for the events industry.
Key Responsibilities
- Conducting professional access control, including ticket checking, bag searches, and verifying guest lists at event entry points.
- Proactively patrolling event perimeters, crowded public areas, backstage zones, and car parks to deter and detect suspicious activity.
- Monitoring crowd behaviour to identify potential conflicts or safety hazards, employing effective communication and de-escalation techniques to resolve issues calmly.
- Providing a visible and reassuring security presence, offering assistance and direction to attendees while enforcing venue rules and policies.
- Accurately completing incident reports, maintaining radio communication with the security control room, and assisting emergency services if required.
What We're Looking For
- A valid SIA (Security Industry Authority) Door Supervisor or Security Guard licence is essential. Frontline Licence holders are also welcome to apply.
- Proven experience in a customer-facing security role, ideally within events, hospitality, or a similar fast-paced environment.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to remain calm, assertive, and professional under pressure.
- A strong team player with high levels of integrity, reliability, and a keen sense of situational awareness.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in offering fair, competitive remuneration that reflects your skills, experience, and the responsibilities of the Event Security role. Pay rates are agreed upon before placement and are designed to attract top-tier professionals in the Leeds market.
What You Can Expect:
- Competitive Hourly/Daily Rates: Rates are competitive and commensurate with experience, SIA licence type, and the specific event requirements (e.g., night shifts, major festivals).
- Weekly Pay: Get paid reliably every week, with no delays. We handle all the payroll administration so you don't have to.
- Flexible Shifts: Access to a variety of shift patterns including days, nights, weekends, and ad-hoc events, allowing you to balance work with other commitments.
- Holiday Pay Accrual: Your statutory holiday pay is calculated and accrued, ensuring you are paid for time off.
- Career Pathway: Exceptional performance can lead to longer-term assignments, temp-to-perm opportunities with client venues, or roles in related sectors like site safety coordination.
We are transparent about pay. During your registration, our consultant will discuss the specific pay range for the roles you are suited for. Our benefits extend beyond pay; we provide a supportive framework for your career.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my own SIA licence for Event Security work?
Yes, a valid SIA Door Supervisor or Security Guard licence is a legal requirement for all frontline security work in the UK, including event roles. Carer Agency can help you verify your licence during registration, but we do not provide or pay for the licence itself. You must hold this before applying.
How quickly can I start working after applying?
For candidates with all documentation ready (SIA licence, right-to-work, references), we aim for an ASAP start. Many of our Event Security roles in Leeds LS12 require immediate coverage, and placements can often be made within 24-48 hours of completing our fast-track registration. Watch our video "How We Fill Emergency Shifts in Under 2 Hours" to see our process in action.
What kind of events will I be working on in Leeds?
Leeds has a vibrant events calendar. Our Event Security staff work at a diverse range of venues and events, including major concerts at the First Direct Arena, rugby matches at Headingley Stadium, conferences at the Royal Armouries, corporate hospitality events, university functions, and private weddings. Shifts vary in length and timing, offering great variety.
Is the pay weekly, and how do I get paid?
Yes, all Carer Agency workers are paid weekly. You will submit timesheets, which we verify with the client and process promptly. Payment is made via BACS directly into your bank account. We ensure you are also paid for any accrued holiday pay in line with UK legislation.
What if I have experience but not specifically in events?
Transferable skills are highly valued. Experience in retail security, door supervision, customer service, the military, or even roles requiring high vigilance like a Picker / Packer in a fast-paced warehouse can be relevant. The key is your SIA licence, professionalism, and ability to interact with the public. Discuss your background with our consultant.
Are there opportunities for permanent work?
Absolutely. Many of our temporary Event Security assignments are temp-to-perm. Clients often use temporary placements as an extended interview to find reliable staff for permanent positions. Performing well on shift is the best way to be considered for permanent roles with venues or security companies. We also have permanent security vacancies listed on our latest jobs page.
