Waitrose Supermarket Creates 3000 new jobs

It’s been a bad week for job cut announcements, but it is nice to finish the week with a little bit of good news.

The supermarket chain Waitrose has today announced that it will create 3,000 new jobs this year as it adds 22 new stores to it’s portfolio. 

The increase in stores comes as a result of an agreement to purchase 13 former Somerfield stores and open a further 9 new ones, with work due to commence on converting and opening the new stores in the Spring. 

Waitrose managing director Mark Price said  "There is a real weight of evidence that businesses that continue to invest during tough economic times fare much better when the economy begins to recover. Our new shops will help ensure Waitrose is in the best shape possible coming out of the recession".

This bodes well from a Part-Time-Jobseekers point of view as Supermarkets employ a lot of part time employees, offer a good varierty of positions to suit different age groups. Some of the UK supermarkets also fair pretty well in the list of best companies to work for.

Look out for an extended article on Part Time Jobs in Supermarkets coming soon.
