Job Description

Blend in, watch closely and act lawfully: that is loss prevention at a fashion retail store in Vereeniging. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Home base is a fashion retail store on the Vereeniging side of Gauteng. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

What you'll actually do

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

You'll need

  • Good report writing
  • Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
  • PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
  • Discreet, observant and honest
  • Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4

What you get

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: loss prevention or investigation course certificates plus matric certificate.
  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 9 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Vereeniging; 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

  • 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.
  • Keep your appearance low-key for the interview. Detectives need to blend in with shoppers.
