Job Description

Location: Secunda, Mpumalanga. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

  • Carry out visible patrols through the sector between call-outs
  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
  • Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
  • Give first aid at an incident until paramedics take over
  • Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end

You'll need

  • Clean criminal record and no pending cases
  • At least 2 years in guarding or response
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts

Nice if you have

  • SAPS, SANDF or reservist background
  • Advanced driving course
  • First-aid Level 2 or 3

On offer

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