Tesco Gainsborough, England, United Kingdom
Overview
Join to apply for the Cafe Team Member role at Tesco. Tea is brewing. Café doors are opening, and our café team members are the talented people making every day a little better for our customers. You could be one of them.
As a Team Member in our café, you’ll be part of everything – a bit of cooking, a bit of chatting with customers, and a lot of impact. You’ll help ensure that every dish you prepare and serve meets our menu promises and safety standards, and you’ll help keep everything tidy, from kitchen equipment to customer tables.
It’s a lively role with daily challenges and opportunities for flexible hours, progression, and more.
Note: It’s our policy to offer new colleagues joining us a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week; there are also opportunities to work fewer hours (to a minimum of 12) if you prefer.
The availability windows show the preferred times to work each week. We will schedule contracted hours within these times, with 3 weeks’ notice of shifts. We aim to support flexibility, so 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.
