I joined Waitrose about 4-months ago after working for 8-years in another retailer. I joined as a Team Manager with a 12-week protected training programme to set me up for success!<\/p>\n<p>I spent the first 6-weeks at the Wimbledon Hill store, and the latter half in Putney which is a larger shop. Once I completed my training I was then appointed to my permanent location in Waitrose Surbiton!<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"b__quote l__space\" id=\"block-3-quote\">\n\t<div class=\"l__container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"b__quote__inner b__quote--gold animate hidden slideUp\" data-delay=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload b__quote__tapestry desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/themes\/em-jlp\/assets\/images\/icons\/tapestries\/png\/light-orange-arrows.png\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyload b__quote__tapestry mobile\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/themes\/em-jlp\/assets\/images\/icons\/tapestries\/png\/light-orange-arrows-long.png');\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Tapestry Design\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"quote\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<p>There is a real emphasis on celebrating individuality here at the Partnership. Being from a minority, it can be daunting to present as yourself at work especially when you feel underrepresented. However, it&#8217;s evident how much the Partnership values having a diverse workforce.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n<section class=\"b__text__block l__space white\" id=\"block-4-text-block\">\n\t\t<div class=\"l__container\">\n\t\t<p>The Partnership\u2019s D&amp;I team identified the lack of ethnic, young and female voices in retail management and prior to my joining, already had a programme dedicated to finding out why, what the struggles and inhibitors can be, and most importantly to look toward changing that.<\/p>\n<p>Other employers often have great intention in supporting their staff but can fall short in the execution. However, in the Partnership, it is embedded into the culture. They go above and beyond their legal obligations. I was stunned to learn about the long-leave that is offered to Partners after their 25th year of service.<\/p>\n<p>The Partnership makes a real open investment into all its Partners. Not just at work, where it&#8217;s woven into the policies; but also in our day-to-day lives outside of work. When you look at the Partner Choice hub (our benefits website) and all the activities and clubs they offer (which as an avid crafter and DIY-er I was ecstatic to have others to share my passions with) it really feels like a community.<\/p>\n<p>There are also a variety of support networks which offer a place for like minded people and allies to the causes. The Unity network is where I heard about the opportunity to share my Partner story and I jumped at the chance to give others who are thinking about joining the Partnership some insight.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"805\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1-swati-805x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4065\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1-swati-805x1024.jpg 805w, https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1-swati-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1-swati-768x977.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1-swati.avif 1191w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"b__text__block l__space white\" id=\"block-5-text-block\">\n\t\t<div class=\"l__container\">\n\t\t<h2>Swati&#8217;s Story<\/h2>\n<p>Hello!
