SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
At least 2 years in guarding or response
Calm under pressure and physically fit
Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving

What's in it for you

Regular refresher shooting practice
Group life cover through the provident fund

Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response plus firearm competency certificate.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Tembisa.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

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.
