Security Dispatcher (Armed Response) – Entry Level

Night or day, a remote video monitoring centre in Centurion never switches off, and neither does your focus on shift. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

Home base is a remote video monitoring centre on the Centurion side of Gauteng. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Log every event and action on the monitoring software
• Monitor live CCTV feeds and zoom in on suspicious movement
• Track stolen vehicles on the map and guide recovery teams
• Hand over open incidents clearly at shift change
• Keep call-out times and client passwords up to date

• Computer literate and quick on a keyboard
• Able to stay focused through 12-hour day and night shifts
• Good memory for sites, streets and procedures
• No criminal convictions (vetting is done before you start)

• CCTV operator short course
• Call centre work in the past

• Training on the monitoring software
• Indoor, air-conditioned work environment
• Shift allowance for nights
• Path to senior controller or supervisor

• Show you can stay alert at night. If you have done night shift before without problems, say so.
• Some companies give a typing and map test. Practise finding streets on a map quickly before the interview.
