Job Description

You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at a building-supplies store in Rustenburg before they cost jobs. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
Share trends with the store manager each week
Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots

You'll need

Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
Good report writing
Discreet, observant and honest
PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
Able to handle confrontation calmly
Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4

Nice if you have

Understanding of stock systems and shrinkage reports
Previous store detective experience with case outcomes

On offer

Monthly recovery incentives
Retail trading hours, no night shift in most stores
Staff discount at the retailer
Plain clothes work (no uniform in detective roles)

Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): loss prevention or investigation course certificates, matric certificate plus PSIRA certificate and ID copy.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Rustenburg.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

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.
Give numbers on your CV: how many cases you opened, how many led to arrests. Retail security managers trust results.
