Job Description

Blend in, watch closely and act lawfully: that is loss prevention at a fashion retail store in Burgersfort. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

You'll report in Burgersfort. Relocation is not covered for this one. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What your day looks like

  • Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
  • Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors
  • Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
  • Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
  • Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour

Must-haves

  • Able to handle confrontation calmly
  • Discreet, observant and honest
  • Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
  • Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4

Helpful, not essential

  • Previous store detective experience with case outcomes
  • Experience giving evidence in court

On offer

  • Monthly recovery incentives
  • Staff discount at the retailer
  • Retail trading hours, no night shift in most stores

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Burgersfort really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): loss prevention or investigation course certificates plus PSIRA certificate and ID copy.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Tips to get shortlisted

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