Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
A Store Team Member at Woolworths Supermarkets supports customers and helps keep the store safe, clean and well stocked. Typical duties include serving customers, operating registers, replenishing shelves, checking product quality and assisting with online orders or other departments when required. Applicants generally need a customer-focused attitude, reliable work habits, good communication skills and the ability to work cooperatively in a fast-paced environment. The role may involve standing for long periods, lifting stock and working flexible shifts, including evenings, weekends and public holidays. Previous retail experience is helpful but is not always required, as training is commonly provided. Candidates are expected to follow safety procedures, deliver friendly service and contribute positively to the team.
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.
