Job Description

The gate at a gated residential estate in Midrand is the first line of safety, and you would be standing at it. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is Midrand-based, with most of your time spent at a gated residential estate.

What you'll actually do

  • Call the armed response or SAPS number from the call list when needed
  • Direct traffic and parking during school drop-off or big events
  • Write every incident and shift change in the occurrence book (OB)
  • Test the panic button and radio when you come on duty
  • Keep the guardhouse clean and the OB up to date for the relieving officer
  • Patrol the perimeter on a set route and scan checkpoint tags

You'll need

  • Grade 10 minimum; matric preferred
  • Clear, neat handwriting for the OB and registers
  • Speaks and writes basic English
  • Physically fit for foot patrols

What's in it for you

  • Provident fund contributions
  • Paid night-shift allowance under the security sector rules
  • Uniform, boots and winter jacket issued

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID plus previous security employers' contact details.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Make sure your PSIRA fees are paid. A lapsed registration gets your CV thrown out, even if you have years of experience.
  • Put your PSIRA number and grade right under your name. Recruiters check it on the PSIRA system before they even phone you.
