Security Supervisor - Club & Live music

This role is offered on a part-time basis across 3 nights per week, flexible to events. Shift availability must include late-nights and weekends.

KOKO is looking for an experienced Security & Door Person to join our team across live gigs, club nights, late-night events and special shows as Security Supervisor.

Reporting to the Head of Security, you’ll be part of the team responsible for keeping KOKO safe, secure and welcoming throughout the night.

Working at a venue like KOKO requires an understanding of the full picture of a busy, high-profile club and live music venue - From the guest experience and artist requirements to crowd dynamics, licensing, venue operations and the atmosphere we want to create.

We’re looking for people who are dedicated to the KOKO mission, take genuine pride in their role and understand that great security should support the experience, not work against it. You’ll need to be agile, adaptable and able to make good decisions in a fast-moving environment where no two nights are the same.

Previous experience in high-end venues, clubs, live music or nightlife environments is essential, as is a valid SIA Door Supervisor licence.

• Understand the wider operation of the venue and how security decisions can impact guests, artists, staff and the overall running of the night.
• Support the safe movement and management of crowds throughout the venue.
• Respond quickly and professionally to incidents and follow established venue procedures.
