Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
Discreet, observant and honest
Good report writing
Able to handle confrontation calmly

On offer

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: loss prevention or investigation course certificates, matric certificate plus PSIRA certificate and ID copy.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Richards Bay; 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

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