Peak Period Casual Team Member
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
Peak Period Casual Team Members support Woolworths Supermarkets during busy trading periods such as Christmas and school holidays. Duties may include serving customers, replenishing shelves, picking and packing online orders, maintaining store presentation, handling stock, and following health and safety procedures. Candidates should be reliable, flexible, friendly, and comfortable working in a fast-paced team environment. Availability across evenings, weekends, public holidays, and peak periods is generally expected. Previous retail or customer service experience can be helpful but is not always required. Applicants must have suitable Australian work rights and be able to communicate effectively with customers and colleagues.
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.
