Receiving Bay Security Checker

Retail in Bethlehem runs on thin margins, and a fashion retail store needs someone guarding its stock. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The work is in Bethlehem, Free State, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
• Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
• Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
• Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement
• Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
• Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers

• Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
• Discreet, observant and honest
• Able to handle confrontation calmly
• Available for retail hours including month-end weekends

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

• 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.
