You'll report in Soweto. Relocation is not covered for this one. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

  • 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
  • Test the panic button and radio when you come on duty
  • Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed

You'll need

  • Speaks and writes basic English
  • Physically fit for foot patrols

  • Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers

Helpful, not essential

  • First-aid Level 1 certificate

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: previous security employers' contact details plus PSIRA certificate and valid registration card.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Arrive for the interview in neat clothes with your certificates in a plastic sleeve. It shows the discipline they want.
