Trolley Collection Driver
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Trolley Collection Driver keeps shopping trolley areas, car parks and store entrances safe, tidy and well organised. Requirements typically include a valid Australian driver’s licence, safe driving ability, physical fitness for pushing and collecting trolleys, and the ability to work outdoors in changing weather. Candidates should be reliable, safety-conscious, customer-focused and comfortable working independently as well as with a store team. The role may involve frequent walking, lifting, traffic awareness and flexible availability, including weekends, evenings or public holidays. Previous retail, driving, cleaning or customer service experience can be helpful, although practical attitude and willingness to follow procedures are often most important.
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.
