Store Team Member
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
Store Team Members support the day-to-day operation of Woolworths Supermarkets. Typical responsibilities include serving customers, replenishing shelves, receiving and checking stock, maintaining clean and safe store areas, operating registers, and working across different departments as required. Applicants generally need a friendly and reliable attitude, good communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively in a team. Physical stamina is important because the role may involve standing for long periods, lifting stock, and completing repetitive tasks. Availability for early mornings, evenings, weekends, and public holidays may be expected. Previous retail experience can help 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.
