Job Description

Serious work for a serious officer: armed response across a business park in Mamelodi. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

  • Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
  • Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details
  • Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests
  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses

What you need

  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
  • At least 2 years in guarding or response
  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts

What you get

  • Group life cover through the provident fund
  • Regular refresher shooting practice
