Store Team Member

Job Description

The Store Team Member role involves serving customers, replenishing shelves, maintaining clean and safe store areas, handling stock, operating checkouts where required, and supporting smooth day-to-day store operations. Applicants generally need a customer-focused attitude, good communication skills, reliability, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively in a team. The role may require standing for extended periods, lifting products, and working flexible shifts, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and public holidays.
