Job Description

Blend in, watch closely and act lawfully: that is loss prevention at a fashion retail store in Umlazi. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is in Umlazi (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

What your day looks like

  • Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
  • Share trends with the store manager each week
  • Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
  • Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
  • Tag high-value stock and check security tags at the doors
  • Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
  • Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour

You'll need

  • Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
  • Discreet, observant and honest
  • Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
  • PSIRA registration, Grade C at least

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Umlazi really suit you before you apply.
  2. 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.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. 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.
