Job Description

When a panic button goes off in a mixed-use neighbourhood in Mamelodi, you are the one who arrives first. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a mixed-use neighbourhood in Mamelodi. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room
  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
  • Search the property perimeter and check doors, windows and gates
  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
  • Visit clients for key-holder checks and open-up requests
  • Secure a scene until SAPS arrives and hand over details

You'll need

  • Valid Code 8 or Code 10 licence with at least 2 years driving
  • At least 2 years in guarding or response
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
  • Calm under pressure and physically fit
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts

What's in it for you

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Mamelodi really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: firearm competency certificate, driver's licence and ID copies 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 8 working days.
