Security Supervisor / Team Leader.

Run the team, own the shift.

A security supervisor owns the shift: the roster, the briefing, the standards, and the calls that get made when the plan meets reality. It is the natural step for licence holders who find colleagues already looking to them when things get busy. Team-leading training plus real floor experience is the route, and every team in the industry needs one.
