Job Description

Steady 12-hour shifts at a gated residential estate in Prospecton for PSIRA-registered officers. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Location: Prospecton, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

What you'll actually do

  • Search vehicles and bags leaving the site when company policy requires it
  • Test the panic button and radio when you come on duty
  • Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors
  • Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
  • Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
  • Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
  • Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols

Must-haves

  • Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers
  • Speaks and writes basic English
  • Clean criminal record
  • Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends
  • Physically fit for foot patrols

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience on estate access apps or biometric readers
  • First-aid Level 1 certificate

What you get

  • Paid night-shift allowance under the security sector rules
  • Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training
  • Stable long-term site contracts
  • Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): PSIRA certificate and valid registration card, certified copy of your ID plus previous security employers' contact details.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.
