Hospitality, Supermarket Assistant - #1114297

Our Purpose

Working in Partnership for a happier world – our shared Purpose that guides us in everything we do and inspires 3 important principles; happier people, happier business, happier world. The John Lewis Partnership is a truly unique business, one that seeks to make a positive difference to the lives of everyone.

Duties & Responsibilities:

As Partners - members of the Partnership - it's our responsibility to ensure our success for the future. We proactively seek out opportunities to continuously improve the way we work, taking action to ensure the Partnership is efficient and we are all as productive as possible. It's an ethos each and every Partner works by and you'll carry into your own role too.

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. 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.

It's why we've set our own aim to become the UK’s most inclusive business - for our Partners (employees) and our customers. We firmly believe that our future success lies in diversity of thought from all Partners and it's integral in our mission to build a happier world. We welcome applications from everyone interested in working for us. And, once you're a Partner, your differences will make all the difference.
