Liv’s Story

Hi I’m Liv I joined the Partnership 4-years ago as a Supermarket Assistant in my local Waitrose!
I have some amazing memories from my time in branch and learnt some really great skills that have helped me in my role today.

I started managing the branch’s TikTok platform with another Partner which quickly grew a large following. The other social media champions left our branch and so I became the account manager for both Instagram and TikTok.

This was a challenge alongside my other daily tasks but I loved it so much and put a lot of time and effort into making the accounts successful.

I then worked on various different campaign materials with head office as well as supplier content and landed a role in Head Office with the #TeamWaitrose social media team! This was definitely a pinch me moment and felt so rewarding after all of the work I had put into the branch’s content.

My current role was sent to me by my manager as my contract was coming to an end. This was a brilliant opportunity to work in Talent Acquisition where I am currently loving building up our social media presence on @JLPjobs platforms, giving our Partners a voice and advocating for our business!

At the John Lewis Partnership, we want all of our Partners (employees) to find happier ways of working. Find out more about our commitment to our Partners, their careers and the incredible benefits of being a Partner in the Partnership by exploring the rest of our careers website.
