Job at John Lewis Partnership in Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX2

Embark on a Rewarding Career Path as a Supermarket Assistant with Waitrose & Partners!

Are you passionate about food and dedicated to providing exceptional customer service? Waitrose & Partners is seeking driven individuals to join their team as Supermarket Assistants, a role where you'll be instrumental in shaping the customer experience. This is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to become part of the UK's largest employee-owned business, where your contributions are valued, and you share in the success of the Partnership.

Advantages for Your Career Development:

  • Partner-Led Service: You'll be trained and empowered to deliver a unique "Partner-led" service, a cornerstone of the Waitrose brand that sets it apart from competitors. This focus on passionate service will hone your interpersonal skills and build lasting customer relationships.
  • Food Lover's Environment: For those with a genuine interest in food and drink, this role offers an engaging environment where you can deepen your knowledge and passion. This can be a springboard for future roles within the food industry or specialized retail.
  • Employee Ownership: As a Partner, you are a co-owner of the business. This provides a unique sense of responsibility and belonging, along with shared rewards and a voice in the company's direction. This model fosters a strong sense of purpose and commitment.
  • Structured Night Premium: For those working between 22:00 and 06:00, there's an attractive Night Premium of £3.50 per hour on top of your contractual pay, provided you're enrolled in the Enhanced Hours Premium arrangements. This offers a tangible financial benefit for working unsociable hours.
  • Development and Growth: The role emphasizes teamwork and supporting colleagues, offering exposure to various aspects of shopkeeping, from stock management and order fulfillment to customer service at checkouts and Click & Collect. This broad experience can prepare you for a variety of future retail roles.
  • Flexible Working Opportunities: The Partnership is committed to supporting a good work-life balance. While shifts are varied, discussions around flexible or compressed hours, job sharing, or shorter contracts can be had with the hiring manager, offering potential for personalized work arrangements.

Key Considerations for Aspiring Candidates:

  • Age Requirement: Due to working time regulations, applicants must be 18 years of age or over to apply for this position.
  • Commitment to Service: The role requires a strong drive to "go the extra mile" and a genuine passion for serving customers. Your ability to build trust and loyalty will be central to your success.
  • Essential Skills: Excellent communication skills are paramount. You'll need to collaborate effectively with your team and engage positively with customers.
  • Desirable Skills: While not strictly mandatory, prior customer-facing experience is welcomed. A keen interest in current food and drink trends can significantly enhance your contribution and enjoyment of the role. A flexible approach to supporting different areas of the branch will also be highly beneficial.
  • Shift Patterns: Please note that the role involves varied hours of part-time work across seven days, including weekends. Specific shifts will fall between 21:00 and 07:00.
  • Vetting Processes: Be aware that some roles may be subject to pre-employment vetting, which could include DBS checks and financial probity checks. Prompt completion of any required documentation is encouraged to avoid delays.
  • Application Timing: Vacancies can close early if a high volume of applications is received. It is advisable to apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

This Supermarket Assistant position at Waitrose & Partners offers a unique opportunity to be part of a respected brand and a forward-thinking employee-owned business. If you're ready to contribute to an outstanding customer experience and grow within a supportive environment, this role could be the perfect next step in your career journey.
