Job Description

A Store Team Member supports day-to-day supermarket operations, including serving customers, operating checkouts, replenishing shelves, maintaining store presentation, checking product quality and following health and safety procedures. Applicants generally need a friendly, reliable and customer-focused attitude, good communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team.
