Fresh Service Manager
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Fresh Service Manager leads the fresh-food service area at Woolworths Banora Point, overseeing daily operations, product quality, food safety, presentation, stock availability and customer service. The role generally requires retail leadership experience, strong communication skills, the ability to coach team members, and confidence managing priorities in a busy supermarket. Candidates are expected to create a safe and welcoming environment, meet sales and availability targets, control waste, maintain high hygiene standards and support an inclusive team culture.

Experience in fresh food, supermarkets, hospitality or another customer-focused environment is advantageous.
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.
