Job Description

Serious work for a serious officer: armed response across a business park in Alberton. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in Alberton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What your day looks like

  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
  • Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details
  • Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren

What you need

  • Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts
  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
  • At least 2 years in guarding or response
  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases

Nice if you have

  • Knowledge of the local streets and sectors
  • SAPS, SANDF or reservist background

What's in it for you

  • Regular refresher shooting practice
  • 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. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): firearm competency certificate plus PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.
