It's our policy to offer new colleagues joining us a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week, but if you’d like to work fewer hours (to a minimum of 12) we have opportunities for this too and would still love to hear from you.
The table shows the periods of time in the week we’d 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 advertised times, we’d still love to hear from you.
Customers are at the heart of everything we do.
As the face of Tesco out on the road, we deliver from Lands\' End to John O\'Groats. Our Customer Delivery Drivers meet and talk to customers in their homes every day. This role involves delivering great service with a smile, and is about more than just driving.
It’s hands-on, physical and full of variety. No two shifts are the same, and customers look for help in many ways. For most of the day you’ll feel like your own boss delivering to customers, with a team of Managers and colleagues back at base to support you when needed.
Whether you’re seeking flexibility, job stability, or a new career direction, Tesco welcomes you.
