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 role involves keeping the supermarket clean, safe and presentable, collecting and organising shopping trolleys, managing waste and responding to general store-maintenance needs. Candidates should be physically fit, reliable and comfortable working indoors and outdoors in changing weather. Good time management, attention to detail, a positive attitude and the ability to work independently or as part of a team are expected. Customer-friendly communication, safe manual-handling practices and availability for early mornings, evenings, weekends or public holidays may be required. Previous cleaning, trolley collection or retail experience is helpful but is not always essential, as training is generally 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.
