Assist with emergency situations, including providing first aid when necessary, until professional help arrives.
Collaborate with store management and law enforcement agencies as required to resolve security issues effectively.
Maintain a visible presence to deter theft and promote a secure shopping environment.

Skills

Experience or knowledge in surveillance techniques and equipment operation is desirable.
Strong report writing skills with the ability to document incidents accurately and clearly.
First aid certification or the ability to respond effectively in medical emergencies.
Excellent observational skills with keen attention to detail.
Good communication skills, able to liaise professionally with colleagues, customers, and authorities.
Ability to remain calm under pressure and handle challenging situations discreetly and confidently.
