We’re constantly searching for fresh new ideas to meet our customers’ needs. One of the key places we look is at our graduates.

Graduates

We believe that the John Lewis Partnership continues to grow because we are committed to introducing fresh ideas while simultaneously upholding our longstanding principles of quality, service and value.

Over the years, we’ve evolved a distinct and successful brand of retailing that customers recognise and trust. Alongside this, we’ve grown to become an expert in the field of graduate recruitment; at training, developing and nurturing our graduates into some of the most successful professionals and managers in the retail industry.

We run a number of graduate schemes, the difference between them being that at John Lewis and Waitrose we are looking for people who are passionate about becoming future managers on the shop floor. In Head Office, the focus is on developing specialist expertise in key functions.

If you’re excited by a graduate career at the largest department store group in the UK, with a network of shops stretching from Aberdeen to Bristol, our John Lewis graduate scheme is for you.

If you’d like to be a future senior manager of a pioneering fresh food retailer that has been voted Britain's Favourite Retailer*, find out more about Waitrose graduate scheme.

Or if you’d like to launch your career in an office environment that supports, co-ordinates and develops our extensive retail operation, discover what our Head Office graduate programme can do for you.
