G4S Events Team are recruiting SIA (DS) Licensed Security Officers to work at Burnley Football Club, with exciting opportunities across major sporting and music events in the region – and even nationwide if you’re happy to travel.
Whether you’re welcoming fans, responding to incidents, or supporting general security operations, you’ll play a vital role in delivering a safe, fun, and memorable experience for everyone attending.
You will need to be available for match days, which could be a weekday evening or at the weekend.

Wherever you are, you’ll be the fun, helpful and friendly face representing G4S.
