Retail Security Officer (Clothing Store)

You'll catch shoplifting and stock losses at a supermarket in Pinetown before they cost jobs. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The work is in Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
• Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
• Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
• Share trends with the store manager each week
• Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour

• Discreet, observant and honest
• Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
• Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
• Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4

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

• Keep your appearance low-key for the interview. Detectives need to blend in with shoppers.
• Give numbers on your CV: how many cases you opened, how many led to arrests. Retail security managers trust results.
