Store Team Member

Job Description

A Store Team Member supports daily supermarket operations by assisting customers, replenishing shelves, maintaining clean and safe areas, handling stock, operating registers where required, and helping the team meet service standards. Applicants should have a positive attitude, dependable work habits, good communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment. Previous retail experience may be helpful but is not always essential, as training is generally provided.

A commitment to workplace safety, teamwork, inclusion, and Woolworths Group values is also expected.
