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, car park and surrounding areas clean, safe and presentable, while collecting and returning shopping trolleys. Candidates should be reliable, physically fit, comfortable working outdoors in varying weather, and able to perform repetitive tasks safely.

Availability for early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays may be expected. Previous cleaning or retail experience is useful but is generally not essential, as training is 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.
