Overview
Join to apply for the Cafe Team Member role at Tesco.
Tea is brewing. Café doors are opening. The day is about to start, and so are our café team members. They’re the talented people making every day a little better for our customers. Now, you can join them.
As a Team Member in our café, you're part of everything - a bit of cooking, a bit of chatting with customers, and a lot of impact. You’ll ensure every dish you prepare and serve meets safety standards and the menu promise. You’ll also help keep kitchen equipment and customer areas tidy and clean.
It’s a lively role with flexible working hours, opportunities for progression and more.
Note: it’s our policy to offer new colleagues a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week, with options to work fewer hours (minimum 12) if desired.
The availability windows shown indicate preferred times; contracted hours will be scheduled within these times, with 3 weeks’ notice of shifts. We support flexibility, and if your availability is close to but not exactly the advertised times, we’d still love to hear from you.
Please note you need to be 18 or over to apply for this role.
