Event Security Steward (Stadium)

Residents and staff at a construction yard in Pietermaritzburg need to feel safe when they arrive; that is your job. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

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