FAQs About Hiring Home Security Staff

Do home security staff need a licence?

Yes - anyone working in private security roles such as door supervision, CCTV operation or guarding duties must hold a valid SIA licence. This includes security guards, security officers and close protection staff. All candidates recommended by Nannies Matter are fully vetted and SIA-licensed, meaning they meet the entry requirements to work legally in the UK’s private security industry.

What qualifications or skills do they have?

Our professionals often hold qualifications in security operations, door supervision, CCTV monitoring or conflict resolution. Many have backgrounds in the police or military service. We only work with individuals who demonstrate the ability to manage incidents professionally, respond under pressure and communicate clearly with clients, visitors and emergency services.

Can security staff help with other duties?

While their primary role is to secure your property and respond to risks, many home security staff also assist with driving, household maintenance or supporting events. Their flexibility and professionalism make them valuable members of the household team. If you're looking for this kind of flexible support, speak to our team and we will use this information to find you the ideal candidate.
