Retail Security Officer (Clothing Store)

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

You'll report in Klerksdorp. Relocation is not covered for this one. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.
