We are seeking additional SIA Door Supervisors to join our team at the Harrogate Convention Centre. If you are able to travel, we also have exciting shift opportunities in nearby Leeds and York, including the First Direct Arena and O2 Academy Leeds.

As an SIA Door Supervisor, you must be able to communicate with colleagues in person and over the radio in loud and busy environments. You should be confident to take the initiative on implementing crowd safety measures. You will deliver excellent service while maintaining a safe and secure environment for our clients and customers.
