Store Team Member
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 day-to-day operation of a Woolworths supermarket. Duties may include serving customers, replenishing shelves, checking product quality and dates, preparing online orders, operating registers, maintaining store presentation and following health, safety and food-handling procedures. Applicants generally need a positive attitude, reliable attendance, good communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced team environment. The role may involve standing for long periods, lifting products and working flexible shifts, including early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays. Previous retail experience is helpful but many positions provide on-the-job training. Candidates are expected to be customer-focused, adaptable, safety-conscious and willing to contribute across different areas of the store.
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.
