Job Description

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

You'll be based at a business park in George. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

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
  • Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates

What you need

  • At least 2 years in guarding or response
  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • Calm under pressure and physically fit

Helpful, not essential

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

On offer

  • Regular refresher shooting practice
  • Group life cover through the provident fund
  • Danger and night allowances
  • Response vehicle and firearm provided

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: firearm competency certificate, PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response plus service record or reference letter from past security work.
  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.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around George.

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 the areas you know well. Companies prefer officers who can find addresses fast without a GPS.
  • Bring the originals of your certificates to the interview. Armed companies verify them before a shooting test.
