Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

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

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

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