Job Description

When a panic button goes off in a mixed-use neighbourhood in Brackenfell, you are the one who arrives first. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

You'll be based at a mixed-use neighbourhood in Brackenfell. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What your day looks like

  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
  • Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over

You'll need

  • Calm under pressure and physically fit
  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • At least 2 years in guarding or response
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts

Helpful, not essential

  • First-aid Level 2 or 3
  • Knowledge of the local streets and sectors
  • Advanced driving course

What's in it for you

  • Regular refresher shooting practice
  • Group life cover through the provident fund
  • Danger and night allowances

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Brackenfell really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): firearm competency certificate plus service record or reference letter from past security work.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

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

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
  • Put your firearm competency and armed response course at the top. Without both, the CV is not read further.
