Thu, 29 Jan 2015Waitrose is to use a combination of its own careers site and Jobcentre Plus to fill 2,000 new roles this year.
The supermarket chain announced, this week, it expects to create 2,000 jobs in new and extended shops, as well as in a new e-commerce grocery depot in 2015.
Waitrose is opening 14 shops across the UK from spring this year, including seven new supermarkets and seven new ‘little Waitrose’ convenience shops. This comes on top of the two shops, which have already opened this month in Egham in Surrey and Walbrook in the City of London.
The chain is also relocating one supermarket and carrying out two major extensions to existing branches.
A Waitrose spokesperson told Recruiter the jobs would be advertised via its career website.
“The full details of the recruitment process (and additional information) are available on this site. We tend to recruit for these roles about three to four months ahead of the position opening and we also work with the local Jobcentre Plus.”
