Job Description

Steady 12-hour shifts at a private school campus in Kariega for PSIRA-registered officers. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll be based at a private school campus in Kariega. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

The work, day to day

  • Search vehicles and bags leaving the site when company policy requires it
  • Check visitors' IDs and capture them on the visitor app or in the gate register
  • Direct traffic and parking during school drop-off or big events
  • Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
  • Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags

Must-haves

  • Physically fit for foot patrols
  • PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date
  • Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends
  • Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers

Extra points for

  • Firefighting or evacuation training
  • Experience on estate access apps or biometric readers
  • Previous experience at a similar site type

What you get

  • Paid night-shift allowance under the security sector rules
  • Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training
  • Provident fund contributions
  • Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Kariega really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): previous security employers' contact details, certified copy of your ID plus PSIRA certificate and valid registration card.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.
