Retail Security Officer (Clothing Store)

Shrinkage hurts every supermarket; in Rosslyn, you would be the one tracking it down. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Rosslyn, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
• Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement
• Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors
• Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
• Share trends with the store manager each week
• Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy

• Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
• PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
• Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
• Discreet, observant and honest

• Staff discount at the retailer
• Monthly recovery incentives
• Retail trading hours, no night shift in most stores

• 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.
• Keep your appearance low-key for the interview. Detectives need to blend in with shoppers.
