Job Description

Clients in a farming district in Springs pay for fast response, and this crew delivers it. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in Springs, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What you'll actually do

  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
  • Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over

Must-haves

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

Nice if you have

  • Knowledge of the local streets and sectors
  • SAPS, SANDF or reservist background

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response plus driver's licence and ID copies.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.
