Store Team Member

Job Description

The Store Team Member supports daily supermarket operations by serving customers, operating checkouts, replenishing shelves, maintaining product presentation, checking stock and keeping the store safe and clean. Candidates should have a customer-focused attitude, reliable work habits, good communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team. Retail experience is helpful but often not essential, as training may be provided.
