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 clean and safe work areas, operating registers, and assisting with online orders where required. Applicants generally need a friendly, reliable, customer-focused attitude, good communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in a team. The role may involve standing for long periods, lifting stock, and working flexible shifts, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and public holidays. Previous retail experience is helpful but is not always essential, as training is usually provided. Candidates must have the legal right to work in Australia and be committed to workplace safety and dependable attendance.
