APPLY HERECareers: common questions
Do I need an SIA licence before I apply?
For licensed roles such as security guarding and door supervision you must hold a front line SIA licence before you can work. If you do not have one yet, start with training through AJ Training Academy, then apply once you are licensed.
Can I apply without security experience?
Yes. Plenty of our officers came to us from other industries, including retail, hospitality and the armed forces. What matters most is that you are reliable, calm and professional on site.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in Maryport and work across Cumbria, including Workington, Whitehaven, Carlisle, Silloth, Aspatria, Wigton, Keswick and Penrith.
What shifts will I be working?
Site contracts usually run set shift patterns with some nights and weekends. Event and festival work is more varied, and most of it falls on evenings and weekends through the season.
