Job Description

You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at a building-supplies store in Isando before they cost jobs. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Isando; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
  • Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
  • Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
  • Share trends with the store manager each week
  • Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy

What you need

  • Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
  • Discreet, observant and honest
  • Able to handle confrontation calmly
  • Good report writing

Nice if you have

  • Retail loss prevention course
  • Experience giving evidence in court

On offer

  • Staff discount at the retailer
  • Monthly recovery incentives
  • Plain clothes work (no uniform in detective roles)

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: PSIRA certificate and ID copy, matric certificate plus loss prevention or investigation course certificates.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Isando; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Give numbers on your CV: how many cases you opened, how many led to arrests. Retail security managers trust results.
  • Show you know the legal limits of search and arrest. A single unlawful arrest can cost a store badly, so they will ask about it.
