Job Description

Steady 12-hour shifts at an office tower in Worcester for PSIRA-registered officers. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

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

What your day looks like

  • Direct traffic and parking during school drop-off or big events
  • Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
  • Check visitors' IDs and capture them on the visitor app or in the gate register
  • Hand out and collect contractor access cards
  • Test the panic button and radio when you come on duty
  • Write every incident and shift change in the occurrence book (OB)
  • Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols

Must-haves

  • Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
  • Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends
  • Clean criminal record
  • PSIRA registration at Grade C or higher, paid up to date
  • Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers

Nice if you have

  • A Code 8 licence for vehicle patrols
  • Firefighting or evacuation training
  • Previous experience at a similar site type

What you get

  • Chance to be upgraded to Grade B with training
  • Paid night-shift allowance under the security sector rules
  • 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. Keep copies of these ready to send: PSIRA certificate and valid registration card plus previous security employers' contact details.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

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

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

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