Job Description

Shrinkage hurts every building-supplies store; in Durban Central, you would be the one tracking it down. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

Location: Durban Central, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What your day looks like

Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement

What you need

Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
Available for retail hours including month-end weekends
Able to handle confrontation calmly
Good report writing

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Durban Central really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): matric certificate plus loss prevention or investigation course certificates.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

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

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

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.
