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 entry-level supermarket role involves maintaining clean, safe store areas and collecting, organising and returning shopping trolleys. Responsibilities may include cleaning floors, entrances, amenities and service areas, removing waste, following health and safety procedures, and helping customers when required. Candidates should be reliable, physically fit enough to walk, stand, push trolley bays and handle routine cleaning equipment. A positive attitude, attention to detail, safe work habits and willingness to work independently are important. Availability for early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays is commonly expected. Previous cleaning or retail experience can help but is generally not essential, as workplace 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.
