Job Description

Serious work for a serious officer: armed response across a business park in Cape Town CBD. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests
Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses

Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details

Must-haves

Clean criminal record and no pending cases
At least 2 years in guarding or response
Calm under pressure and physically fit
SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)

Extra points for

SAPS, SANDF or reservist background

What you get

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): service record or reference letter from past security work, PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response plus driver's licence and ID copies.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

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

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

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.
