Job Description

You'll answer alarms across a mixed-use neighbourhood in George in a marked vehicle, armed and ready. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in George; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over

What you need

  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • Calm under pressure and physically fit
  • 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

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in George really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: firearm competency certificate plus driver's licence and ID copies.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around George; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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

  • Mention the areas you know well. Companies prefer officers who can find addresses fast without a GPS.
  • Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
