Shift Supervisor (Guarding Contract)

Officers look to you on every shift at a hospital complex in Kariega. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

Location: Kariega, Eastern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Meet the client weekly on security concerns
• Inspect guards on post for uniform, alertness and OB entries
• Investigate incidents and write reports for the client
• Run on-site training on procedures and emergency drills
• Plan the monthly roster to stay within legal working hours
• Do surprise night visits to check posts

• Available after hours for emergencies
• Valid Code 8 licence and willing to drive between sites
• Confident writer of incident reports and rosters
• Firm with staff but fair and consistent

• Mining or hospital security experience
• Labour relations or basic supervision course

• Cellphone allowance
