All of this comes after a challenging few months for the group. For only the second time since 1953, its staff members - known as partners - did not receive an annual bonus due to the firm's financial performance.
About 1,700 positions will be permanent - and 8,400 will be seasonal.
In an announcement, it said 2,900 temporary roles in sales and merchandising are now available across its 34 John Lewis stores. A further 2,700 festive roles are being advertised in its supply chain - with warehouse workers and drivers required to help the firm fulfil deliveries and click-and-collect orders.
