Team Manager
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Team Manager leads a supermarket department or operational team, supporting day-to-day store performance, customer service, stock availability, safety and team engagement. Requirements typically include retail or supervisory experience, strong communication skills, sound organisation and the ability to work flexible shifts, including weekends and public holidays. The successful candidate is expected to coach team members, manage priorities, maintain high presentation and safety standards, respond to customer needs and help achieve sales and operational targets. Experience in grocery retail, rostering, inventory management or people leadership is advantageous. Woolworths also values reliability, inclusion, collaboration and a genuine commitment to making customers’ shopping experience easy and enjoyable.
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.
