QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
FAQS
Do I need a current SIA licence to apply?
Yes, a current SIA Security Guard Licence is the minimum requirement for this role. If your licence has lapsed or you're working towards your first licence, we can point you to OnnPoint Training, our sister training company, who can support you through the licensing process.
What shift patterns do you offer?
We offer a range of shift patterns including days, nights, weekends and flexible relief cover. When you apply, let us know your availability and we'll match you to shifts that work for you. We're genuinely flexible, we want to find something that works long term, not just fill a gap.
Where will I work?
Our Security Officers work across a wide range of client sites, retail stores, corporate offices, construction sites, healthcare facilities, residential developments, and more. We match officers to postings that fit their experience and location where possible and we aim to provide varied work rather than posting you to the same single site indefinitely.
What support will I receive as soon as I start?
Every new officer receives a full induction before their first shift, including a site briefing, introduction to our reporting systems, and a named point of contact in our operations team. You'll never be sent to a site blind, we make sure you have everything you need to be effective from day one.
Is there opportunity to progress?
Yes. We actively promote from within. Many of our supervisors, operations staff, and senior officers started as Security Officers with Akon. If you have ambitions beyond the officer role, whether that's moving into events, close protection, crisis response, or operations, we'll support your development.
