Store Team Member
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
A Store Team Member supports the daily operation of a Woolworths supermarket. Typical duties include serving customers, operating registers, replenishing shelves, receiving and rotating stock, maintaining store presentation, and following food safety and workplace health and safety procedures. Candidates should have a friendly, reliable and helpful attitude, good communication skills, and the ability to work accurately in a busy environment. The role may involve standing for long periods, lifting stock and working early mornings, evenings, weekends or public holidays. Previous retail experience is useful but not always essential, as training is generally provided. A strong focus on teamwork, customer service and dependable attendance is expected.
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.
