Loss Prevention Partner

About The Role

As a Loss Prevention Partner (LPP) in our Profit Protection team you'll add value to the efficiency and profitability of the shop where you are based and be an integral part of the team. You'll investigate trends and report on key themes regarding shrinkage to protect our profits. You'll protect your fellow Partners and customers patrolling the shop floor to deter potential theft and monitor CCTV for signs of suspicious behaviour.

Due to its nature, you need to be 18-years or older to work in this role. You’ll work on a rota basis and will be required to work a variety of shifts, including evenings and weekends.

• Be a point of contact for branch Profit Protection related issues, and elevate as required.
• Mitigate the risk of malicious harm to Partners and Customers.
• Manage shrinkage performance within budget and risk appetite.
• Address all aspects of shrinkage, including external and internal dishonesty, procedural failure and administrative error.
• Support and coach fellow Partners on how to minimise shrinkage and complete procedures correctly to protect our profits.
• De-escalate conflict situations in the shop professionally (at times, you may be required to detain or ban individuals who are committing offences in our shops).
• Support with investigations where required.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Confidence in resolving conflict.
• Great attention to detail with ability to spot trends and signs of profit loss.
• Good customer service and relationship building skills.

• Previous experience of working in a loss prevention role and a customer facing environment would be beneficial but is not essential as you will receive full and comprehensive training in the first few weeks of starting in your new role.

It’s important to note that some of our roles are subject to pre-employment vetting (which may include DBS checks for successful candidates). If required, you’ll be informed and provided with information about vetting during the recruitment process and we encourage you to complete any vetting documents quickly to avoid delays. Any DBS checks required will be carried out by a third‑party registered body and financial probity checks may also be required for some of our roles.
We occasionally close vacancies early in the event we receive a high volume of applications, and therefore, we recommend you apply early. If you require a reasonable adjustment due to a disability which means you may need longer to complete your application please contact us as soon as possible.
We want all of our Partners to have a good work‑life balance and we support flexible working. This might mean flexible or compressed hours, job sharing or shorter hour contracts, where possible. Please discuss this further with the hiring manager during your interview.
