Summer Security Jobs Abroad
Do you fancy living overseas for summer somewhere exotic with good weather? Apply to work as security staff in popular tourism destinations like Ibiza, Benidorm, Tenerife, Mallorca and Ayia Napa.
There is high demand for experiences security staff due to the large number of pubs, clubs and bars in tourism locations.
Bars and clubs generally employ a team of staff, from door staff to control who can gain entry, to door supervisors are also responsible for the safety of customers in the venue. If you have a recognised professional license such as an SIA license this will really boost your employment prospects.
To get employment you can search jobs online, or even better apply in-person as a lot of vacancies are advertised in windows rather than online. If you are lacking experience you might want to apply to work at a bar or club local to where you live or make connections in the industry.

Some jobs in the security industry are specifically advertised for military and law enforcement veterans with prior experience who are open to the idea of working as an overseas contractor.
These jobs aren’t really like seasonal type work, but professional jobs with risks. Some companies hire security staff and offer relocation packages which include accommodation especially in destinations like Iraq for example.
Security vacancies are advertised online by major energy companies around the world. There are many international hotspots so it’s common for employers to recruit new talent internationally. Given the nature of some security work overseas, salaries can be high, but then the roles can be risky e.g. in war zones or on oil rigs.
