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 Supermarkets store. Typical duties include serving customers, operating checkouts, replenishing shelves, maintaining product presentation, checking stock, following food safety procedures and keeping work areas clean and safe. Applicants generally need a positive, reliable attitude, good communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team. The role requires flexibility to work varied shifts, including early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays. Candidates should be physically able to stand for extended periods, lift products safely and provide friendly, helpful service. Retail experience is useful but is not always essential, as training is commonly 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.
