Job Description

Residents and staff at a distribution warehouse in East London need to feel safe when they arrive; that is your job. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in East London; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Search vehicles and bags leaving the site when company policy requires it
  • Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
  • Test the panic button and radio when you come on duty
  • Check visitors' IDs and capture them on the visitor app or in the gate register
  • Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
  • Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags

You'll need

  • PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date
  • Alert, polite and firm with the public
  • Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers
  • Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends

Nice if you have

  • Firefighting or evacuation training
  • First-aid Level 1 certificate
  • A Code 8 licence for vehicle patrols

On offer

  • Stable long-term site contracts
  • Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued
  • Provident fund contributions

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in East London really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: previous security employers' contact details, PSIRA certificate and valid registration card plus certified copy of your ID.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

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

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 PSIRA number and grade right under your name. Recruiters check it on the PSIRA system before they even phone you.
  • Make sure your PSIRA fees are paid. A lapsed registration gets your CV thrown out, even if you have years of experience.
