Pay
Our Customer Delivery Driver rate of pay starts from £13.35 an hour; this increases to £14.56 for stores inside the M25. Additional payments may also apply depending on location.
Hours entitlement
It's our policy to offer new colleagues joining us a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week, but if you would like to work fewer hours (to a minimum of 12) we have opportunities for this too.
Role availability and scheduling
The table shows the periods of time in the week we would like you to be available to work - the availability windows. We will schedule your contracted hours within these times, and you'll have 3 weeks' notice of exactly when your shifts will be. We are happy to support flexibility; if the times you are available match closely but not exactly to the times we advertise, we would still love to hear from you. Click here to read more.
Customer focus
Customers are at the heart of everything we do.
As the face of Tesco out on the road, we deliver all the way from Lands' End to John O'Groats. Our Customer Delivery Drivers get the opportunity to meet and talk to different customers in their homes every day. This role is about more than driving: it's about helping others and delivering great service, with a smile.
It's hands on, physical and full of variety. No two shifts are ever the same and our customers look for help in all kinds of different ways. For most of the day you'll feel like your own boss delivering to your customers, but there is always a team of Managers and colleagues back at base ready to support you when you need them.
All are welcome at Tesco, whether you are seeking flexibility, job stability or a change of career direction.
