Hospitality, Supermarket Assistant

About the role

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. We give at least 2 weeks\’ notice to help you plan. We have various flexible working options, so feel free to discuss what flexibility means to you during your interview. Please note that flexibility cannot be guaranteed, but it may lead to a new role and a new way of working.

Duties & Responsibilities:

Providing excellent service for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between is your main responsibility. You\’ll use your relationship-building skills to make recommendations and prepare food. The way our customers perceive you will influence how they view Waitrose.

Job Requirements:

You should always empathize with our customers, think on your feet, and deliver a personal experience they love every visit. Your energy, pace, and passion for food should shine through every day.

Required essential skills, experience, and qualifications:

This role involves working with open food. For hygiene reasons, successful applicants must be non-nail biters. You should be self-sufficient, energetic, and proactive. Prior catering or hospitality experience, skills, or qualifications should be included in your application. Only apply if you can fully commit to the advertised hours, as incomplete commitments may hinder the application process. We reserve the right to close the vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications.

Additional considerations:

• Early application is recommended due to possible early closure of vacancies.
• Print the job description if needed.
