Welcome to the Proactive Services Team

Here at Woolies, we have a team called Proactive Services that ensures trolleys are available to use and that our stores are in pristine condition - this enables our Customers (and your colleagues) to experience an environment that is hygienically clean to work and shop in. You'll work side-by-side with your team whilst bringing a little good to everyone, every day.

What you’ll do

As a Team Leader, you’ll lead and develop a team, ensuring that all cleaning and trolley collection tasks are completed to a high standard. Coach and train your team, developing their skills in trolley collection, cleaning and waste support.

• Create a roster for your team to ensure that all daily tasks and operations are covered

• Work with the Store Leadership teams to identify challenges, areas of opportunity and upcoming priorities

• Develop succession plans through coaching to increase team productivity and improve overall satisfaction

• Complete time and attendance activities for your team members, such as tracking hours, managing absences, and ensuring compliance with company policy.

• Order all consumables for your stores, such as cleaning supplies, and maintain these within a budget

• In addition to your regular duties, you will spend some of your time working as part of the Proactive Services Team, providing cleaning, trolley collection and waste management services.

What you’ll bring

You’ll bring an ambitious mindset, a love of retail, and a passion for people to a promising role with room to grow your career in the cleaning and trolley collection space and beyond.

• Flexibility to work in different environments such as the shop floor, fridges, freezers and carparks
