I started off as a part-time student on the fresh replenishment section. Then, some years later, I moved over onto the Fruit &amp; Veg section of the shop where I received a full-time contract and was later signed off as a Fruit &amp; Veg Specialist.<\/p>\n<p>As far back as I can remember, I&#8217;ve always been passionate about fruit and veg. I&#8217;ve always found it very interesting on where produce comes from and how it grows, as well as all the different types there are!<\/p>\n<p>My role involves stock replenishment, sharing my passion for food with our customers and other Partners. I make sure we have the right stock in at the right time, as well as maintaining eye-catching standards throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard, heavy work, but I do adore what I do in branch.<\/p>\n<p>Working for the Partnership has really helped my self-confidence. Believe it or not, in the early days I was shy! Luckily, my managers and my fellow Partners have helped me to overcome this.<\/p>\n<p>My favourite thing about working here is all the people you meet along the way. From our customers, to fellow Partners and our Maintenance team.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"3322,3849,3860,2439,2444,2452","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"partner-story-category":[192],"personalisation-category":[289,287],"class_list":["post-4549","partner-story","type-partner-story","status-publish","hentry","partner-story-category-shop-stories","personalisation-category-customer-service","personalisation-category-shop"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sarah-Jane&#039;s Story - John Lewis Partnership Careers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Read about Sarah Jane&#039;s career journey in our Waitrose stores.
