Job Description

When a panic button goes off in a mixed-use neighbourhood in Germiston, you are the one who arrives first. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

Location: Germiston, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

The work, day to day

  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
  • Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates

You'll need

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

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  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 registration certificate showing armed response plus service record or reference letter from past security work.
  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 10 working days.
