Job Description

When a panic button goes off in a mixed-use neighbourhood in Johannesburg CBD, you are the one who arrives first. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll be based at a mixed-use neighbourhood in Johannesburg CBD. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What your day looks like

  • Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details
  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs

What you need

  • Calm under pressure and physically fit
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
  • Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Johannesburg CBD really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: service record or reference letter from past security work, firearm competency certificate plus PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • 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.
