Store Team Member

Job Description

A Store Team Member supports the daily operation of a Woolworths supermarket by serving customers, replenishing shelves, checking product quality, maintaining store presentation, operating registers and following health, safety and food-handling procedures. Applicants generally need a customer-focused attitude, reliability, good communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team. The role may involve standing for extended periods, lifting stock and working flexible shifts, including early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays.
