Job Description

Clients in a business park in Worcester pay for fast response, and this crew delivers it. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is Worcester-based, with most of your time spent at a business park.

What your day looks like

  • Check the firearm in and out of the safe at shift start and end
  • Drive the response vehicle safely at speed to client addresses
  • Do vehicle checks: tyres, fuel, lights and siren
  • Write detailed incident reports on the tablet or in the vehicle logbook
  • Respond to alarm and panic signals sent by the control room

What you need

  • SAPS firearm competency certificate for handguns (and shotgun if required)
  • PSIRA Grade B or C with an armed response course
  • Calm under pressure and physically fit
  • Able to work 12-hour rotating shifts

Nice if you have

  • SAPS, SANDF or reservist background
  • Advanced driving course

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): service record or reference letter from past security work plus PSIRA registration certificate showing armed response.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

  • Put your firearm competency and armed response course at the top. Without both, the CV is not read further.
