Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
As a Store Team Member at Woolworths Metro, you will help customers, replenish shelves, maintain store presentation, operate registers, manage stock and support daily store operations. The role generally requires reliable availability, a positive and helpful attitude, good communication skills and the ability to work efficiently in a busy environment. Previous retail experience is useful but is often not essential, as training is provided. Candidates should be comfortable standing for extended periods, lifting and moving stock, following safety procedures and working flexible shifts, including evenings, weekends and public holidays. A strong focus on customer service, teamwork, accuracy and punctuality 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.
