Job Description

Blend in, watch closely and act lawfully: that is loss prevention at an electronics store in Tembisa. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll report in Tembisa. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

The work, day to day

  • Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
  • Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement
  • Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
  • Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
  • Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers
  • Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft

You'll need

  • Able to handle confrontation calmly
  • Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
  • Discreet, observant and honest
  • Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience giving evidence in court
  • Retail loss prevention course

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Tembisa really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: loss prevention or investigation course certificates plus matric certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

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

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.
