The position combines customer engagement, product knowledge, stock management, hygiene and general store operations.
The role is suited to someone who enjoys working with people and is willing to learn.

- Maintaining strong product knowledge, including awareness of new product lines and promotions.
- Completing required shop-keeping documentation, including temperature records and price adjustments.
- Following relevant high-risk and low-risk operational disciplines.
- Reporting incidents of dishonesty, shrinkage or other stock-security concerns to management.
- Maintaining appropriate attendance, punctuality, dress code and personal hygiene standards.
- Participating actively in team meetings and contributing to team effectiveness.
- Supporting colleagues and working collaboratively to achieve store objectives.

- Grade 12 / Matric or an equivalent NQF-level qualification.

- Honesty, reliability and a strong commitment to ethical behaviour.
- Ability to follow company policies, safety requirements and operational procedures.
- A willingness to contribute ideas and use creative problem-solving.
Previous experience in retail or another customer-facing environment is advantageous, but candidates who demonstrate the required customer-service attitude, reliability and willingness to learn may also be suited to the role.
Skills & Competencies
The ideal candidate should be friendly, approachable and comfortable interacting with customers throughout the day. Strong attention to detail is important because the role involves product handling, stock rotation, documentation and hygiene requirements.
You should also be organised and able to manage tasks efficiently during busy trading periods. A positive team attitude is essential, as the role requires close cooperation with colleagues and management.
Woolworths values teamwork, honesty, creativity and leadership, so candidates should demonstrate professionalism and take ownership of their responsibilities.
Working Environment
The position operates in a busy retail environment and requires flexibility around working hours. Candidates must be prepared to work various shifts according to operational requirements.
Because the role involves preparing and serving hot foods, strict attention must be given to hygiene, safety, temperature controls, product handling and company procedures.
Who Should Apply?
This opportunity is suitable for candidates who have Matric/Grade 12, enjoy customer service and want to gain or develop experience in the retail industry.
