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 our menu promise and safety standards, and you’ll help keep kitchen equipment and customer areas tidy and clean.
It’s a lively role with flexible working hours, opportunities for progression and much more. We offer a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours per week, with options to work fewer hours (minimum 12) if desired.
The availability windows indicate the periods during which we’d like you to be available. Hours are scheduled within these times with 3 weeks’ notice. We support flexibility; if your availability closely matches but isn’t exact, we’d still love to hear from you.
Please note that you need to be 18 or over to apply for this role.
