Job Description

Retail in Stellenbosch runs on thin margins, and a fashion retail store needs someone guarding its stock. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll report in Stellenbosch. Relocation is not covered for this one.

  • Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
  • Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
  • Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
  • Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers
  • Share trends with the store manager each week
  • Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
  • Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors

Must-haves

  • Discreet, observant and honest
  • Able to handle confrontation calmly
  • Good report writing
  • Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
  • Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
  • PSIRA registration, Grade C at least

What's in it for you

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): loss prevention or investigation course certificates plus PSIRA certificate and ID copy.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.

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.
