Dis-Chem Pharmacies invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their Security Guard Vacancies (Multiple Posts Available). The closing date for applications is 22 June 2026.
This is a great chance for people who want a stable job, enjoy keeping others safe, and are ready to work in a busy retail environment in Gauteng. If you like being alert, helping people, and taking responsibility, this opportunity could be a good fit for you.
Dis-Chem is one of South Africa’s well-known pharmacy and retail brands. Their stores are busy every day, with customers, staff, and suppliers coming in and out. Because of this, they need trained and responsible security guards to help protect people, money, and property, and to make sure everyone feels safe while shopping or working.
As a security guard at Dis-Chem, your main job is to create a safe and calm space. You will watch what is happening around you, look out for anything that does not seem right, and act quickly if there is a problem. This includes stopping theft, reporting damage, and helping during emergencies.
You will work according to the Private Security Industry Regulations Act and Dis-Chem’s own rules. This means you must always act in a legal and professional way.
Security guards are not meant to hide. You will patrol the store and nearby areas often so that people can see you. This alone can stop crime before it starts. You must stay focused, even when things seem quiet, because problems can happen at any time.
To apply for this job, you must meet these basic needs:
These are very important. If you do not have them, your application may not be considered.
This is not required, but it can give you a better chance.
You will check people coming in and out of certain areas. This includes staff, suppliers, and merchandisers. You may also need to search bags or vehicles when required by company rules. All checks must be done in a respectful and legal way.
You will walk around the store and outside areas often during your shift. These patrols help you spot problems early, like broken doors, open windows, or people acting strangely.
You will also make sure that:
Some shifts will include working with CCTV cameras and alarm systems. You must know how to use these tools and respond quickly if there is a warning or alert.
If you work at night or after hours, you will rely even more on patrols and cameras to keep the place safe.
If there is a serious situation, like a fire, medical emergency, or crime, you must act fast and follow the correct steps. This can include:
After any serious incident, you must write a clear report and give all details to management and, if needed, to the police.
Paperwork is part of the job. You will need to:
Good reports help the company understand what is happening and how to prevent future problems.
Even though you are there for security, you must also be friendly and helpful. Customers and staff should feel comfortable asking you for help or directions. Being polite and calm is very important, even when you are dealing with difficult situations.
English is important because reports and communication at work are done in English.
This can help when dealing with different people from different backgrounds.
Before you apply, make sure you meet these conditions:
These checks are done to make sure the company hires trustworthy and responsible people.
Dis-Chem offers a market-related salary, which means the pay is in line with similar jobs in the security industry.
Other benefits include:
These benefits help you take care of your health and plan for the future.
Working as a security guard at a big retail company can help you build strong work experience. You learn how to deal with people, how to stay calm under pressure, and how to follow strict rules. These are skills that can help you grow in the security field or even move into other roles later.
You also become part of a team that plays a big role in keeping stores safe for everyone. That is something to be proud of.
Only successful applicants will be contacted. If you do not hear back within two weeks after the closing date, please understand that your application was not successful this time.
If you meet the requirements and feel ready to take on this responsibility, make sure you apply before 22 June 2026. Opportunities like this do not stay open forever, and many people will apply, so do not wait until the last day.
