Access Control Officer (Grade C)

The gate at a private school campus in Bloemfontein is the first line of safety, and you would be standing at it. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a private school campus in Bloemfontein. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

• Search vehicles and bags leaving the site when company policy requires it
• Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
• Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
• Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
• Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols

• Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
• Physically fit for foot patrols
• PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date
• Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers
• Alert, polite and firm with the public

• Experience on estate access apps or biometric readers
• Previous experience at a similar site type
• A Code 8 licence for vehicle patrols

• Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training
• Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued
• Provident fund contributions

• Make sure your PSIRA fees are paid. A lapsed registration gets your CV thrown out, even if you have years of experience.
