DOOR SUPERVISOR SERVICES

Door Supervisor Services

Overview

Door supervisors, door staff, doormen and bouncers are licenced officers employed to decide the suitability of customers entering premises, and to maintain order and public safety within those premises. It is crucial for door supervisors to maintain a professional and helpful attitude at all times, as they are often the first point of contact for customers entering the premises. Our Door Supervisor Services are delivered in accordance with the British Standard BS7960 Code of Practice and are regularly audited by the National Security Inspectorate (NSI) to ensure the highest levels of quality and compliance. Vigilant provides highly trained and fully licensed door supervisors to a wide range of industries across private and public sectors. Our security staff undergo a full five-year background screening in accordance with BS7858 standards before commencing any operational duties. We also maintain a pool of experienced staff who can be deployed at short notice to support customers during emergencies or to assist with new contracts. All security staff undergo rigorous background checks in accordance with British Industry Standards BS7499 and BS7858, and are licensed by the Security Industry Authority (SIA). Whether you require a single door supervisor for a one-off assignment, or a full team for an ongoing contract, we are here to support your business.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What manned guarding services do you provide?

We provide temporary and permanent static and mobile security officers throughout the UK and Ireland, including static guarding, mobile patrols, door supervision and front-of-house duties, all delivered by SIA-licensed, BS7858-vetted officers.

Are your security guards vetted?

Yes. Every Vigilant security officer undergoes a full five-year screening process to BS7858 before commencing operational duties, so you receive thoroughly vetted, reliable personnel.

Can you cover short-notice or emergency guarding requirements?

Yes. We keep an experienced team of reserve officers on hand specifically to provide emergency cover and to support new contracts where stability and experience are essential from day one.

What is the difference between static and mobile security?

Static security places a dedicated officer at a fixed location to control access and deter threats on site, while mobile patrols cover one or more sites at scheduled or random intervals. Many clients combine both for full coverage.

Do your guards have customer service training?

Yes. Our officers are trained in customer service alongside their security duties, so they protect your premises while representing your organisation professionally at reception and front of house.
