Job Description

Clients in a mixed-use neighbourhood in George pay for fast response, and this crew delivers it. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

Location: George, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

The work, day to day

  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests
  • Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details

Must-haves

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

On offer

  • Response vehicle and firearm provided
  • Danger and night allowances
  • Regular refresher shooting practice

Applying, step by step

  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: PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response, service record or reference letter from past security work plus firearm competency certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.
