Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
A Store Team Member supports the daily operation of a Woolworths supermarket. Typical duties include serving customers, operating checkouts, replenishing shelves, receiving and rotating stock, maintaining clean and safe work areas, and assisting with online orders where required. Candidates should be reliable, friendly, physically capable of standing and lifting for extended periods, and comfortable working in a fast-paced retail environment. Previous retail experience is helpful but often not essential, as training is provided. The role requires flexibility to work varied shifts, including early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays. Strong communication, teamwork, attention to detail and a genuine focus on customer service are 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.
