Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end

Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
Clean criminal record and no pending cases
At least 2 years in guarding or response
Calm under pressure and physically fit
Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

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): driver's licence and ID copies plus PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 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 Umlazi.

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

Mention the areas you know well. Companies prefer officers who can find addresses fast without a GPS.
Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
