John Lewis to Hire 13,700 Christmas Staff in Major Recruitment Drive - Liverpool Echo
The John Lewis Partnership seeks 13,700 temporary staff to manage 30 million shoppers and dispatch over two deliveries per second during the busy festive 'golden quarter.'
- The John Lewis Partnership has announced it is hiring 13,700 temporary Christmas staff in its biggest-ever recruitment drive to prepare for the busy festive shopping season.
- Final three months hiring is driven by the 'golden quarter' , with JLP expecting 30 million visitors to John Lewis shops.
- John Lewis detailed the role breakdown as 3,000 seasonal roles in 35 John Lewis stores, 8,500 at Waitrose supermarkets, and nearly 2,200 in warehouses; successful candidates get competitive pay, training, and flexible options, while JLP's roughly 70,000 workers are known as "partners".
- The group said it is investing to meet the expected surge in consumer demand during the golden quarter, and other retailers including big supermarkets are expected to recruit thousands more seasonal workers.
- Despite the hiring spree, workers have missed out on an annual bonus for the third year, and Chairman Jason Tarry earlier this year said he was determined to reinstate bonuses when possible.
