Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Soweto really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response plus firearm competency certificate.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

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