Job Description

Blend in, watch closely and act lawfully: that is loss prevention at a retail distribution centre in Ballito. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll report in Ballito. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What your day looks like

  • Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
  • Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
  • Share trends with the store manager each week
  • Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
  • Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers

Must-haves

  • Discreet, observant and honest
  • Able to handle confrontation calmly
  • Good report writing
  • PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
  • Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
  • Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act

Extra points for

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

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Ballito 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. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 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.

How to stand out

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