Undercover Floor Walker (Supermarket)

Retail in Midrand runs on thin margins, and a fashion retail store needs someone guarding its stock. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll report in Midrand. Relocation is not covered for this one. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Search staff bags at exit points according to store policy
• Record every incident with photos, times and value of goods
• Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement
• Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
• Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour
• Help with stock counts and point out loss hot-spots
• Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers

• Good report writing
• PSIRA registration, Grade C at least
• Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
• Able to handle confrontation calmly

• Understanding of stock systems and shrinkage reports
• Experience giving evidence in court

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

• Give numbers on your CV: how many cases you opened, how many led to arrests. Retail security managers trust results.
• 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.
