Job Description

Retail in Lephalale runs on thin margins, and a fashion retail store needs someone guarding its stock. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is Lephalale-based, with most of your time spent at a fashion retail store.

Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement
Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial

Must-haves

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

Helpful, not essential

Previous store detective experience with case outcomes
Understanding of stock systems and shrinkage reports
Retail loss prevention course

What you get

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

How to apply for this job

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Keep copies of these ready to send: loss prevention or investigation course certificates, PSIRA certificate and ID copy plus matric certificate.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Lephalale.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

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.
