Job Description

Steady 12-hour shifts at a gated residential estate in Umhlanga for PSIRA-registered officers. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

  • Hand out and collect contractor access cards
  • Check visitors' IDs and capture them on the visitor app or in the gate register
  • Watch for loitering, broken fencing and open doors during night patrols
  • Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
  • Direct traffic and parking during school drop-off or big events
  • Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags
  • Open and close boom gates for residents, deliveries and contractors

You'll need

  • Speaks and writes basic English
  • Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
  • Clean criminal record
  • Able to work 12-hour day and night shifts, including weekends
  • Physically fit for foot patrols

Nice if you have

  • Firefighting or evacuation training
  • First-aid Level 1 certificate

What's in it for you

  • Stable long-term site contracts
  • Paid night-shift allowance under the security sector rules
  • Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: PSIRA certificate and valid registration card plus Grade 10 or matric certificate.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

  • List the types of sites you have guarded, like estate, mall or factory. Security companies place officers by site experience.
  • Make sure your PSIRA fees are paid. A lapsed registration gets your CV thrown out, even if you have years of experience.
