Job Description

Shrinkage hurts every fashion retail store; in Rustenburg, you would be the one tracking it down. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

  • Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
  • Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers
  • Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement

  • Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors

What you need

  • Discreet, observant and honest

  • PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
  • Good report writing
  • Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4

What's in it for you

  • Plain clothes work (no uniform in detective roles)
  • Staff discount at the retailer
