I was in london training Door Supervisor when my documents were thoroughly checked by g4s, then sent for SIA. it has been almost three weeks now, do you know how to track application.

It's £8.50 for all SIA, no one would work for £6.08 with a badge outside of London! I get paid more than that as a steward! (Which incidentally, is what the £6.08 is for, stewards, although at my initial interview in November, G4S said they wouldn't be hiring stewards as everyone had to be licensed.)


Anyone have any experience with the Manchester accreditation pick-up? I'm planning on heading there tomorrow, but then have to go straight to work so I don't have more than an hour or two to queue! Also, do we get uniform from Old Trafford? And Oyster cards? I'm more than happy to turn up to a venue and demand work (lol) but need all my bits and pieces first!

Oh and also, My ESS says 'Door Supervisor' and nothing more... Does this mean I haven't even been assigned a role yet?

I see G4S security in the village without a license. Most look very young.

You could be guarding the toilets as some did today in the welcome centre.

So I had a phone call this afternoon from a blocked number, asking my availability. He said full time is 3 days, 3 nights and 3 off. After hearing some of the horror stories on here I said to him that I'd rather do part time, so around 4 shifts a week. He said the shifts are mainly 12 hours but there are some 5 hours shifts but most of these are taken now... I said I'd obviously prefer the 5 hour shifts!
So he said he was gonna try to sort my shifts out and get back to me in around 15 minutes, I'm still waiting for that phone call back.....

After your licence being approved by the SIA, how long does it take to receive the ID through the post?

btw are people at Lords in uniform or not? G4S can't give me a certain answer

they did it with 'bridging the gap' which was for students. Their all SIA exempt

Don't laugh but...

My uniform trousers don't fit, and I'm not spending £10 to get to London to change them. What would happen if I turned up in jeans on my first shift? I'd wear the rest of it, just not these grim trousers! They're massive on the legs! Have they not heard of Slim Fit!?!?

You have to wear full uniform. You'll have to get used to looking like an idiot lol. I am only partly satisfied with the polo myself, nothing else. But oh well...
