Job Description

Posting End Date: July 9, 2023

Join John Lewis or Waitrose today

If you\'ve ever stepped through the doors of a John Lewis or Waitrose shop, shopped online, or seen any of our adverts, you\'ll know there\'s something unique about us.

That unique proposition is our Partners. As co-owners they have a say in our business and receive a share of the profits, so they put time and effort into making it work. Our Partners are the reason we\'re the success we are. They\'re our secret sauce; the opportunity for us to differentiate.

Job Summary: Focusing on delighting our customers when they come into our shops means we need flexibility from all Partners, which might include early starts, late finishes and weekend working.

:

Duties & Responsibilities:

What our customers enjoy for breakfast, lunch and dinner - and anything in between - is your main responsibility. You\'ll use your excellent relationship building skills, make recommendations and prepare food. How our customers view you will, ultimately, be how they view Waitrose.

Job Requirements:

You\'re always putting yourself in our customers\' shoes, thinking on your feet to provide them with a personal experience that they love every time they visit Waitrose. Your energy, pace and love of food shines through every minute of every day.

Required essential skills, experience and qualifications:

This role will require work with open-food. For hygiene reasons, successful applicants must be non-nail biters. You don\'t wait to be told, you\'re self sufficient and full of energy. You drop everything for your customers - they are your number one focus and you use your judgement to make sure every customer you interact with leaves feeling they matter most to us. Please give details of any Catering and/or Hospitality skills, qualifications or experience in your application. We request that candidates only apply for this position if you can fully commit to the advertised working hours, or we will be unable to proceed with your application. Please note we reserve the right to close the vacancy early in light of a large response.

Additional Information:

As a Partner you will enjoy our unique benefits package, including staff discount, subsidised food in Partner dining rooms, discounts in local restaurants, subsidised learning, access to exclusive Partnership hotels and so much more.
