Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
As a Store Team Member at Woolworths Supermarkets, you may work across customer service, checkout operations, shelf replenishment, stock handling, online order fulfilment and maintaining store presentation. The role generally requires good communication, reliability, attention to detail and the ability to work safely in a fast-paced retail environment. Previous retail experience is helpful but not always essential, as training is commonly provided. Candidates should be comfortable standing for extended periods, lifting and moving products, following procedures and working flexible shifts, including evenings, weekends and public holidays. A friendly, customer-focused attitude and the ability to work cooperatively with colleagues are important.
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.
