How to apply for this job

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Umlazi really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): PSIRA certificate and ID copy, matric certificate plus loss prevention or investigation course certificates.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Umlazi.

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.

How to stand out

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.
