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 is responsible for collecting, returning and organising shopping trolleys across the store car park and surrounding areas. Requirements generally include a valid Australian driver’s licence, safe driving habits, physical ability to push and move trolley groups, and the capacity to work outdoors in changing weather. The role may involve repetitive lifting, walking, bending and maintaining a clean, safe car park. Candidates are expected to provide friendly customer service, follow workplace health and safety procedures, operate equipment responsibly, communicate effectively with team members and maintain reliable attendance. Availability for early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays may be required. Previous retail experience is helpful but is typically 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.
