Trolley Collection Driver
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Trolley Collection Driver keeps supermarket car parks and trolley bays safe, tidy and well maintained. Duties typically include collecting and returning shopping trolleys, operating a trolley-collection vehicle where required, assisting customers, monitoring hazards and following workplace health and safety procedures. The role requires a valid Australian driver’s licence, good physical fitness, safe driving habits and the ability to work outdoors in changing weather. Candidates should be reliable, friendly, punctual and comfortable working independently or as part of a store team. Availability for early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays may be expected. Previous retail, cleaning, driving or customer-service experience is useful but may not be essential.
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.
