Home base is a fashion retail store on the Roodepoort side of Gauteng.

• Check receiving bay deliveries against invoices and seal numbers
• Detain suspects lawfully and call SAPS, then write a statement
• Review CCTV footage to confirm suspected theft
• Attend court as a witness when a case goes to trial
• Walk the floor in plain clothes and watch for shoplifting behaviour

• Discreet, observant and honest
• Matric or equivalent NQF Level 4
• Knowledge of lawful arrest and search under the Criminal Procedure Act
• Good report writing

• Retail trading hours, no night shift in most stores
• Monthly recovery incentives
