Armed Escort Officer

You'll answer alarms across a farming district in Stellenbosch in a marked vehicle, armed and ready. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The work is in Stellenbosch, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

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

• SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
• Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
• Calm under pressure and physically fit
• Clean criminal record and no pending cases

• SAPS, SANDF or reservist background
• Advanced driving course

• Response vehicle and firearm provided
• Group life cover through the provident fund
• Regular refresher shooting practice

• Put your firearm competency and armed response course at the top. Without both, the CV is not read further.
• Mention the areas you know well. Companies prefer officers who can find addresses fast without a GPS.
