Both roles are vital in the security industry, but they have key differences.
● Door Supervisors usually work in licensed premises (pubs, clubs, events). They need conflict
management skills and the ability to manage large crowds.
● Security Guards typically work in retail, corporate buildings, or construction sites. Their focus is
on monitoring, patrolling, and preventing theft.
Choosing depends on your strengths — customer-facing roles suit Door Supervisors, while more
observational, site-based work suits Security Guards.
