Able to stay focused through 12-hour day and night shifts

How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Potchefstroom really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): matric certificate and certified ID plus PSIRA card showing your current grade.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 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 Potchefstroom.

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 any software you have used: alarm monitoring, CCTV or even call centre systems. Control rooms need people who learn screens fast.
Show you can stay alert at night. If you have done night shift before without problems, say so.
