It’s no secret that Christmas is an exciting time at John Lewis & Partners. A magical atmosphere builds in our shops throughout the festive season. It’s our Partners dedication and commitment to helping customers find the perfect gift for their loved ones that makes it a memorable experience for all. We are looking for temporary partners to help us deliver the service we are famous for. As one of the following roles, you’ll be part of something really special, working as part of a diverse team where you are free to be yourself.
Selling Assistant: Your day will be varied, from delivering service with a smile at the till to helping customers with their online orders. You will be an ambassador for the John Lewis & Partners brand and you’ll delight in going above and beyond to exceed our customers expectations.
You’ll proactively engage with customers on the shop floor to help them find and fall in love with our beautiful products and unique services.
Stock Assistant: Your journey starts with stock arriving at the back door; we’ll rely on you to work with your team to unload the stock and ensure it’s in the right place at the right time for our customers. You’ll be responsible for ensuring the displays are well organised, beautifully presented and the information is accurate.
Your role is much more than just stock on shelves, it’s a vital part of creating a truly inspirational customer experience in our shops.
Cafe Assistant: You will be working in either our fast-paced customer restaurants or staff canteen, delivering the exciting John Lewis food offer with excellent service and serving our food to exceptional standards.
You’ll be involved in food production, stock management as well as selling duties, working both in the kitchen and the restaurant.
