Job at John Lewis Partnership in South Croydon, Greater London

Are you a passionate individual with a knack for food and a desire to create exceptional customer experiences? This Supermarket Assistant role at Waitrose & Partners offers a unique opportunity to be part of a customer-first culture and contribute to a thriving employee-owned business.

Key Advantages for Candidates:

  • Be Part of a Values-Driven Organisation: As the UK's largest employee-owned business, you'll be more than just an employee; you'll be a Partner. This means sharing in the rewards and successes of the business, fostering a strong sense of belonging and collective responsibility.
  • Customer-Centric Focus: This role places a high emphasis on delivering "Partner-led service and passion for food." If you enjoy interacting with customers and going the extra mile to ensure their satisfaction, you'll thrive in this environment. Your contributions directly impact customer loyalty and the Waitrose brand's reputation.
  • Competitive Pay and Night Premium: The role offers a competitive starting pay of £13.60 per hour, increasing to £13.85 after 90 days. For those working between 22:00 and 06:00, a Night Premium of £3.50 per hour will be applied, providing an attractive earning potential for night shifts.
  • Meaningful Work and Variety: Beyond direct customer service, you'll be involved in crucial shop-keeping tasks that ensure smooth operations. This includes stock replenishment, fulfilling online orders, minimising wastage, and supporting various team functions. This variety ensures your day is engaging and impactful.
  • Career Growth and Development: While this role is focused on essential shopkeeping, the emphasis on food trends and a flexible approach hints at opportunities for individuals to learn and grow within the business. The ownership model encourages personal development and collective success.
  • Work-Life Balance Support: Waitrose & Partners is committed to supporting a good work-life balance through flexible working arrangements. This can include flexible hours, compressed hours, job sharing, or shorter contracts, offering a degree of autonomy in managing your schedule.

Key Considerations for Candidates:

  • Part-Time Commitment: This position is part-time, requiring 14.5 hours per week, specifically on Mondays and Saturdays between 06:00 and 14:00. Candidates seeking full-time employment may need to consider this or explore other opportunities within the Partnership.
  • Essential Communication Skills: Strong communication skills are a fundamental requirement, enabling effective teamwork and positive customer interactions. Candidates who are naturally articulate and enjoy collaborative environments will be well-suited.
  • Desirable Food Enthusiasm: While not strictly mandatory, a "strong interest in food and drink trends" is highly valued. Candidates with a genuine passion for food will find this role particularly rewarding and be able to bring added value to customer interactions.
  • Flexibility is Key: A "flexible approach to ensure the support of the whole branch" is expected. This means being willing to assist in various areas and adapt to the needs of the team on any given day.
  • Vetting Requirements: Be aware that some roles may be subject to pre-employment vetting, which could include DBS checks. If required, you will be informed during the recruitment process, and prompt completion of documentation is encouraged.
  • Application Timing: Vacancies can close early due to a high volume of applications. It is advisable to apply as soon as possible to avoid missing out on this opportunity.

This Supermarket Assistant role at Waitrose & Partners presents an exciting opportunity for individuals who are passionate about food, customer service, and being part of a unique employee-owned business. If you possess strong communication skills, a proactive attitude, and a desire to contribute to a respected brand, this could be an excellent step in your career journey.
