Cleaning and Trolley Collection
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
This role supports the smooth operation and presentation of a Woolworths supermarket by cleaning customer and staff areas, collecting and returning shopping trolleys, managing waste safely, and helping maintain a welcoming store environment. Candidates should be reliable, physically capable of walking, standing, pushing trolleys and lifting suitable loads, and comfortable working independently or as part of a team.

Previous cleaning or retail experience can be helpful, but 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.
