Job Description

Retail in Khayelitsha runs on thin margins, and an electronics store needs someone guarding its stock. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is in Khayelitsha (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement
Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
Share trends with the store manager each week
Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots

What you need

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

Nice if you have

Experience giving evidence in court
Previous store detective experience with case outcomes
Retail loss prevention course

On offer

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

How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Khayelitsha really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): matric certificate plus loss prevention or investigation course certificates.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Khayelitsha; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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

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.
