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 Supermarkets, you may work across customer service, checkout operations, replenishment, online order picking, stock handling and maintaining a clean, safe store. Requirements generally include legal working rights in Australia, reliability, availability for varied shifts including evenings and weekends, and the ability to follow safety procedures. Previous retail experience is useful but is not always required. Woolworths expects candidates to be friendly, team-oriented, customer-focused and willing to learn. The role also requires basic communication skills, attention to detail, physical ability to stand and lift products safely, and a positive approach during busy trading periods.
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.
