  • Professional response to theft, ASB, and aggressive behaviour
  • Lawful detention in line with legislation and company procedures
  • Evidence gathering, statements, and prosecution support
  • CCTV operation and targeted surveillance
  • Liaison with police, store leadership, and crime teams
  • Conflict management, de‑escalation, and emergency response

What You’ll Need

  • Valid SIA Licence
  • Proven retail security experience (essential)
  • ✅ Strong understanding of retail loss prevention procedures
  • ✅ Confident communication and sound decision‑making
  • ✅ Full 5‑year checkable employment history
  • UK driving licence (preferred for this mobile role)
