Receiving Bay Security Checker

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

This post is Hammarsdale-based, with most of your time spent at an electronics store. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Share trends with the store manager each week
• Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers
• Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors
• Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
• Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour

• PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
• Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
• Good report writing
• Available for retail hours including month-end weekends

• Retail loss prevention course
• Understanding of stock systems and shrinkage reports
• Experience giving evidence in court

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

• Keep your appearance low-key for the interview. Detectives need to blend in with shoppers.
• 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.
