Cleaning and Trolley Collection
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
This team member role involves cleaning the supermarket, staff and customer areas, collecting and returning shopping trolleys, maintaining safe and presentable surroundings, and supporting the store team with general operational tasks. Candidates should be reliable, physically fit, safety-conscious and comfortable working independently or as part of a team. The role may require prolonged standing, walking, bending and handling trolleys in different weather conditions. Flexibility to work early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays is generally expected. Good communication, a positive attitude, attention to cleanliness and a commitment to customer service are important. Previous cleaning or retail experience may be helpful but is not always essential, as training is commonly 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.
