Christmas Hiring Drive Aims to Help Young Workers, John Lewis Partnership Says
- The John Lewis Partnership announced more than 10,400 seasonal roles for this year's Christmas hiring drive across John Lewis and Waitrose supermarkets.
- Waitrose will receive around 6,000 roles across its 320 shops, while John Lewis stores take 2,600 positions, with 1,800 additional roles assigned to distribution centres and supply chain.
- JLP offers £13 hourly for seasonal roles, rising to £13.25 after 30 days, while pledging to recruit 100 young people with care system backgrounds to reduce employment barriers.
- Chief people officer Helen Webb called retail a "vital stepping stone for young people entering the workforce," as official data shows over 1 million young people aged 16 to 24 remain NEET.
- The Financial Times reported JLP is pursuing more than £100 million in additional profit through a three-year strategy to "get John Lewis leading again," combining loyalty programme integration with workforce expansion.
