I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Waitrose (London, England) in Nov 2019
Interview
First was welcomed at the front desk and you must give in documentation that say you have a right to work in the UK.
Then I was given a one on one interview with an interviewer that asked me 4 general interview questions and some housekeeping questions as well.
There was a team task and I was in a group of 5, you had to match the customer to the product choice and roleplay the conversation that you would have with the customer.
Make sure you get your point across but also encourage others to do so too.

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.
