About this role

At New World Wigram, we're proud to be more than just a supermarket. We're a locally owned business, a key part of the Wigram community, and home to an incredible team who genuinely care about each other and our customers.

We're looking for a reliable, motivated and hands-on team member to join our team in a varied role supporting our storeroom and day-to-day store operations.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys physical work, takes pride in getting the job done and is comfortable taking responsibility. You'll be involved in everything from stock handling and load splitting to supporting the wider retail team and ensuring our Retail departments run smoothly.

Previous experience is desirable but not essential. Full training will be provided to the right person, including opportunities to develop skills in forklift operation, stock management and team supervision.

  • Monday: 6:30am – 12:00pm
  • Friday: 6:30am – 3:00pm
  • Saturday: 6:30am – 3:00pm

There will also be opportunities to pick up additional shifts when available.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Splitting and organising incoming supplier loads in the storeroom
  • Handling stock deliveries and ensuring stock is distributed efficiently throughout the store
  • Operating a forklift (training provided if required)
  • Supporting and supervising retail team members with daily tasks and priorities
  • Filling shelves and maintaining high merchandising standards
  • Assisting with general store operations and customer service when required
  • Following all food safety and health & safety procedures

If you're motivated, dependable and looking for a varied role where you can develop new skills and take on responsibility, we'd love to hear from you!
