Armed Escort Officer

When a panic button goes off in a suburban residential area in Worcester, you are the one who arrives first. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Worcester, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
• Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
• Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests
• Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
• Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
• Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
• Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook

• At least 2 years in guarding or response
• SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
• Calm under pressure and physically fit
• Clean criminal record and no pending cases
• PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course

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

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

• Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
• Mention the areas you know well. Companies prefer officers who can find addresses fast without a GPS.
