Job Description

Clients in a suburban residential area in Tembisa pay for fast response, and this crew delivers it. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

You'll report in Tembisa. Relocation is not covered for this one. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

The work, day to day

  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
  • Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
  • Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details
  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses

What you need

  • Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts

Nice if you have

  • Advanced driving course
  • First-aid Level 2 or 3
  • SAPS, SANDF or reservist background

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Tembisa really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): driver's licence and ID copies plus service record or reference letter from past security work.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

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

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Put your firearm competency and armed response course at the top. Without both, the CV is not read further.
  • Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
