Grocery Manager & Nightfill Manager
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Grocery Manager and Nightfill Manager is responsible for leading the grocery and overnight replenishment teams, maintaining product availability, organising stock, meeting presentation standards and delivering strong customer service. The role typically requires retail leadership experience, sound knowledge of grocery operations, stock control, workplace health and safety, and the ability to work flexible hours, including nights, weekends and public holidays. Woolworths expects candidates to coach team members, manage daily priorities, reduce waste, follow company procedures and achieve sales and operational targets. Strong communication, organisation, problem-solving skills and a practical, hands-on leadership style are important. Applicants must generally have the legal right to work in Australia and be comfortable working in a fast-paced supermarket environment.
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.
