Job Description

When a panic button goes off in a farming district in Ermelo, you are the one who arrives first. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is Ermelo-based, with most of your time spent at a farming district.

What you'll actually do

  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
  • Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
  • Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
  • Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests

Must-haves

  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts
  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
  • Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving

Nice if you have

  • First-aid Level 2 or 3
  • Advanced driving course

What's in it for you

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

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. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): driver's licence and ID copies plus firearm competency certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 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 Ermelo.

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

  • Put your firearm competency and armed response course at the top. Without both, the CV is not read further.
  • Mention the areas you know well. Companies prefer officers who can find addresses fast without a GPS.
