I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Waitrose (Abingdon, England) in Oct 2017
Interview
I was initially called in for a 2 hour Group Assessment by the Resourcing Team but had to reschedule for another week. I was then contacted by the manager for a one to one interview which only took about 30 minutes. The manager was very friendly and it was a very relaxed interview where he asked basic company questions as well as other questions of his own.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Waitrose (London, England) in May 2026
Interview
I applied for a Supermarket Assistant vacancy for all SW London stores (If your applying for a London specific vacancy, please ensure you apply ASAP, they only keep the vacancies for London open for 24 hours max), an early application, is always the best application) I am very happy that I have been given an offer! This was honestly one of the best interview/application processes I've been through, everything went smoothly, and on a timely manner. I applied for the role a week ago, and the next day received an email to say I have been invited for an Interview. You then schedule yourself in for an Interview. Literally 2 days after the Interview, I was called and told I have passed the Interview, and they would offer me a vacancy. My best advice would be to research Waitrose' core values and behaviours, and also research company trends. I have put the questions below. Towards the end of the interview, they'll confirm your right to work, your availability, and your preferred locations.
