You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at a fashion retail store in Randburg before they cost jobs. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Randburg-based, with most of your time spent at a fashion retail store. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Share trends with the store manager each week
• Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
• Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
• Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
• Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods

• Good report writing
• Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
• Discreet, observant and honest
• Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4

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

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

• 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.
