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.
This casual role supports Woolworths supermarkets during busy periods such as holidays and promotional events. Typical duties include assisting customers, replenishing shelves, keeping displays and store areas tidy, handling products safely, and working effectively at the checkout or in other departments as required. Applicants generally need good communication skills, a reliable and positive attitude, willingness to learn, and the ability to work in a fast-paced team environment. Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and public holidays is usually expected. Previous retail experience is helpful but not always required. Candidates must meet Australian work-rights requirements and be able to perform the physical aspects of the role, including standing, lifting and moving stock.
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.
