Armed Escort Officer

When a panic button goes off in a business park in Soweto, you are the one who arrives first. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is Soweto-based, with most of your time spent at a business park. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details
• Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
• Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
• Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
• Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates

• Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
• Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts
• Calm under pressure and physically fit
• SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
• PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
• At least 2 years in guarding or response

• Knowledge of the local streets and sectors
• First-aid Level 2 or 3
• Advanced driving course

• Danger and night allowances
• Regular refresher shooting practice
• Group life cover through the provident fund

• Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
• Put your firearm competency and armed response course at the top. Without both, the CV is not read further.
