What: John Lewis Partnership is recruiting more than 10,000 seasonal staff across the country to meet increased demand over the busy holiday season.

Why it is important: The group plans to offer all partners and temporary workers free food from October 3rd to January 6th as a way of helping address the rising food prices.

The 10,000 roles are within both Waitrose and John Lewis shops as well as its distribution network as the company seeks to recruit associates for its retail, delivery, temp, and supply chain operations. Those hired are promised a competitive salary, training and potential development opportunities.
