Job Description

You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at a retail distribution centre in Midrand before they cost jobs. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll be based at a retail distribution centre in Midrand. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors
Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement
Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods

Must-haves

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

Helpful, not essential

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

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: loss prevention or investigation course certificates plus PSIRA certificate and ID copy.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Midrand; 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.

Before you hit apply

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