Receiving Bay Security Checker

You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at a retail distribution centre in Isando before they cost jobs. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The work is in Isando, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Able to handle confrontation calmly
• Discreet, observant and honest
• Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
