Recruiting drive for new John Lewis store

Jan 24 2008 by David Bartlett, Liverpool Daily Post

JOHN LEWIS is looking for 10 chefs to work in its store once doors open in May.

They will join head chef Tony Sim and head of catering Gerard Fennell in the third floor Place to Eat overlooking Chavasse Park and the ground floor Espresso Bar.

Section managers are also wanted all over the store and around 80 catering staff to support Tony and his team.

Recruitment and development manager Kathy Roberts said: “Because the new shop is 40% bigger we will be looking for around 150 new partners in total.

“The new jobs will be advertised in the local media over the next few weeks.”

Staff will be part of the John Lewis partnership structure, and have access to holiday and leisure facilities, education support and a pension scheme.
