Local Sainsbury’s stores have joined together to organise a regional management recruitment campaign.  The recruitment event will take place on Wednesday 23rd September 2pm-8pm and on Saturday 26th Sept 8am-2pm and will be held in Sainsbury’s in Merton, Colliers Wood.

Regional operations manager, Colin Adesokan, says:
“We are looking for managers at a variety of levels; team leaders and department managers as well as deputy store managers. This is an exciting time to be working for Sainsbury’s and we hope that people will come along to find out how they can apply to be part of the Sainsbury’s family.” 

15 stores will be taking part in the recruitment drive, including those in Fulham and Putney, and the 50 jobs will be equally spread across the stores. Sainsbury’s bosses hope that people from all walks of life will attend the event to hear about the great opportunities for progression within a diverse and successful company.

The recruitment day comes shortly after Sainsbury’s announced that it will create up to 20,000 seasonal jobs – the biggest number ever – across the UK to meet the high demand from shoppers over the Christmas and New Year period. 

Sainbury's say extra workers will take on a range of roles, including customer service, working on the check-out, helping keep the shelves full and assisting online delivery teams.

Flexible working hours are on offer so all sorts of people can fit the job around their lives, and the supermarket expects at least some of the temporary workers to be offered permanent positions in 2010.

Recruiting for Christmas jobs will begin from mid-October and the jobs will begin in late November. Applications will be made by clicking on the Christmas tree at Sainsbury's recruitment website and taking a short online test, followed by an in store assessment and interview with a Sainsbury’s manager.
