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.
Job Description:
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.
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.
