The John Lewis Partnership (JLP) has said it will give free meals to staff over the festive period to help with the rising cost of living as it announced a recruitment drive for 10,000 new Christmas staff.
The retail group behind the John Lewis department store chain and Waitrose supermarket business said it will advertise a raft of store and supply chain jobs to help it deal with increased demand.
About 4,000 new seasonal workers will be recruited for the group’s 331 Waitrose shops, including supermarket assistants, night shift workers and delivery drivers.
