Assistant Fruit and Veg Manager
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Assistant Fruit and Veg Manager supports the department manager with daily operations, including stock availability, product quality, merchandising, replenishment, inventory control, waste reduction, compliance and customer service. The role generally requires retail or grocery experience, strong organisation, attention to freshness and presentation, and the ability to lead and coach team members. Candidates are expected to work collaboratively, maintain high safety and food-handling standards, respond to customer needs and help achieve sales and availability targets. Flexibility is important, as supermarket work commonly includes early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays. Experience managing produce, ordering stock or supervising a retail team is advantageous, although Woolworths may provide training and development for suitable candidates.
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.
