You will work closely with the store team to maintain security of our product and together you will aim to deliver effective conflict resolution when required.

You will need to demonstrate your ability to remain calm and professional under pressure.

You will also be self-motivated, resilient and driven to make a difference with a natural ability to communicate.

In return, you'll get an in-depth programme of training when you start.

Are we right for you?

We're all about helping you develop yourself. The skills you'll learn working within Loss Prevention will help you be at your best. Plus, you'll be surrounded by the support of our fun and caring team.

Join us, and you’ll be a part of our thriving, growing European business filled with opportunities for growth and recognition. We’re proud of our culture, we work hard, have lots of fun, and give back to many causes we care about.

It will be a role you won't just like but love.

As proud as we are of our past success, it’s our future that excites us most. We strive to provide opportunities for growth, recognition and a competitive salary and benefits package. Share our determination to think bolder and bigger, and be part of our future.
