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 involves keeping the store, entrances, car parks and trolley bays clean, safe and presentable, while collecting and returning shopping trolleys efficiently. Candidates should be physically fit, comfortable working outdoors in different weather conditions, and able to safely move trolleys and use cleaning equipment. Good reliability, time management, attention to detail and a friendly, helpful attitude are important. The role may involve early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays. Candidates must follow workplace health and safety procedures, work independently and cooperate with store team members. Previous cleaning, trolley collection or retail experience is useful but may not be essential, as 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.
