Job Description

When a panic button goes off in a farming district in Potchefstroom, you are the one who arrives first. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Potchefstroom; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details
  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
  • Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests
  • Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end

You'll need

  • Calm under pressure and physically fit
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases

Nice if you have

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

What you get

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