Cleaning and Trolley Collection
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Cleaning and Trolley Collection Team Member helps keep the supermarket clean, safe and welcoming for customers and staff. Duties may include collecting and returning shopping trolleys, cleaning store areas, managing waste, maintaining entrances and car parks, and following workplace health and safety procedures. The role generally requires reliability, physical fitness, attention to detail and the ability to work independently or as part of a team. Candidates should be comfortable working on their feet, handling outdoor conditions, following instructions and providing friendly customer service. Flexible availability, including early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays, is commonly expected. Previous cleaning, retail or customer service experience may be useful but is not always essential, as training is typically provided.
Can I work in Australia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Sales assistants and shop-floor staff are not on the Core Skills list; only retail managers and buyers can be sponsored, at AUD 79,423+; a working holiday visa is the usual route for shop work.
Before you apply: Shop-floor jobs need no professional licence. Pharmacists do: they must register with the local regulator, and one qualified abroad often has to pass local exams first. Selling alcohol can need a short course and certificate, for example in Australia.
Watch for: Shop jobs go to people with work rights, including working holiday visa holders (6 months with one employer); there is no sponsorship route for sales assistants.
