Job Description

You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at a retail distribution centre in Brits before they cost jobs. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

You'll report in Brits. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

The work, day to day

  • Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
  • Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
  • Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
  • Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors
  • Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement

Must-haves

  • Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
  • Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
  • Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
  • Good report writing
  • Discreet, observant and honest
  • PSIRA registration, Grade C at least

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Brits really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): 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. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.

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

  • Keep your appearance low-key for the interview. Detectives need to blend in with shoppers.
  • Give numbers on your CV: how many cases you opened, how many led to arrests. Retail security managers trust results.
