Job Description

Clients in a farming district in Pretoria East pay for fast response, and this crew delivers it. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details

You'll need

Clean criminal record and no pending cases
Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts
PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
Calm under pressure and physically fit
Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving

Helpful, not essential

First-aid Level 2 or 3
Knowledge of the local streets and sectors
Advanced driving course

On offer

Danger and night allowances
Regular refresher shooting practice
Response vehicle and firearm provided

How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
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 10 working days.

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

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.

How to stand out

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.
