The Cleaning and Trolley Collection Team Member keeps the supermarket clean, safe and welcoming. Duties may include collecting and returning shopping trolleys, cleaning store areas, managing waste, responding to spills and following workplace health and safety procedures. The role requires reliability, physical fitness, attention to detail and the ability to work independently and as part of a team. Candidates should be comfortable standing, walking, bending and handling equipment for extended periods. Good communication, a positive attitude and availability for early mornings, evenings, weekends or public holidays are expected. Previous cleaning, retail or customer service experience may be 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.
