Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Cleaning and Trolley Collection Team Member keeps the supermarket, entrances, car parks and trolley areas clean, safe and presentable. Duties may include collecting and returning shopping trolleys, cleaning floors and facilities, removing waste, responding to spills and supporting store presentation. Candidates should be reliable, physically fit and comfortable working on their feet, outdoors and in changing weather conditions. Good communication, a positive attitude, attention to safety and the ability to work independently or as part of a team are expected. Availability for early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays may be required. Previous cleaning or retail experience can be helpful but is not always essential. Applicants must have appropriate Australian work rights and follow workplace health and safety procedures.
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.
