Job Description

You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at a building-supplies store in Worcester before they cost jobs. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Worcester, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

The work, day to day

  • Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
  • Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
  • Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors
  • Share trends with the store manager each week
  • Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers

You'll need

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

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Worcester really suit you before you apply.
  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. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.
