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 store and surrounding areas clean, safe and presentable, collecting and returning shopping trolleys, managing waste and supporting a positive customer experience. Applicants should be reliable, physically fit and comfortable working on their feet, outdoors and in changing weather conditions. Good teamwork, a practical attitude, attention to safety and the ability to follow procedures are important. The role may require early mornings, evenings, weekends and public-holiday shifts. Previous cleaning, retail or customer-service experience can be helpful, but training is generally provided. Candidates must be able to communicate respectfully with customers and colleagues and work efficiently with limited supervision.
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.
