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 role involves maintaining clean and safe supermarket areas, collecting and returning shopping trolleys, removing waste, and supporting a positive customer experience. Applicants should be reliable, physically fit, safety-conscious, and comfortable working independently and as part of a team. The job may require standing, walking, lifting, working outdoors in changing weather, and using cleaning equipment. Candidates are expected to follow workplace health and safety procedures, maintain high hygiene standards, communicate politely with customers and team members, and work flexible shifts, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and public holidays. Previous cleaning or retail experience may be helpful but is generally not essential, as training is 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.
