“I arrived scared — now I lead the team”
My name is Camila, I’m 39 and from Brazil. I came to Australia with my 6-year-old son, fleeing a difficult situation back home.
I didn’t speak English well, knew no one, and urgently needed a job to pay rent.
People told me it would be impossible to get hired without local experience — but I applied anyway.
I registered on the Woolworths careers site, was called for an interview, and to my surprise, they offered me a job in the fruit and veg section.
The beginning was tough. I didn’t understand everything, but my co-workers helped with gestures and patience. My manager treated me with respect, and over time, I gained confidence.
Today, I’m the morning shift supervisor in my department — and I’ve already helped three other migrant women join the team too.
Woolworths didn’t just give me a paycheck — it gave me hope, structure, and dignity.
Extra benefits for those who need real support
Woolworths offers far more than just pay and hours — they truly understand the challenges of getting (re)started.
If you're a single mum, flexible shifts can be life-saving. Schedules can be adjusted to accommodate school routines, and many managers are understanding in emergencies.
Some locations even offer fixed shifts to help with planning and consistency.
For migrants and refugees, the multicultural atmosphere facilitates communication, even for those still learning English.
Many teams provide informal support to one another, and training is delivered in simple, clear language.
For individuals re-entering the workforce after illness, parenting, or personal struggles, Woolworths offers consistent training, a respectful environment, and genuine promotion opportunities.
Even those starting with shelf stocking can advance to supervisory roles within a matter of months with the company’s support.
This kind of care is what makes Woolworths a strategic choice for anyone seeking not just a job, but a dignified restart with opportunities for growth.
