Cleaning and Trolley Collection
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
This role involves keeping the store, entrances and surrounding areas clean, safe and presentable, while collecting and returning shopping trolleys. Candidates should be reliable, physically capable of walking, standing, bending and pushing trolleys, and comfortable working outdoors in varying weather. Good attention to detail, a customer-focused attitude and the ability to work independently or as part of a team are expected. Availability for early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays may be required. Previous cleaning, trolley collection or retail experience can be helpful but is generally not essential, as training is provided. Applicants must follow workplace health, safety and hygiene procedures and provide friendly assistance to customers when needed.
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.
