Tesco Colleague - Bridgwater Express

Our Tesco colleague rate of pay starts from £12.45 an hour; this increases to £13.66 for stores within the M25. Additional payments may also apply depending on location. It is our policy to offer new colleagues a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week, with options to work fewer hours (minimum of 12) and opportunities to hear from you.

The availability windows are the periods of time in the week we would like you to be available to work. We will schedule contracted hours within these times, and you’ll have 3 weeks' notice of exactly when your shifts will be. We support flexibility for colleagues, and if your availability closely matches but isn’t exact to advertised times, we would still love to hear from you.

Customers are at the heart of everything we do. It takes many people to run a store. This is a job for doers with variety, challenges and growth potential. Being a colleague in one of our stores means helping to serve shoppers better every day. You will meet great people, learn new things, and be part of a diverse team where everyone is welcome. Whether you are seeking stability or flexibility to suit your lifestyle, or the opportunity to progress, this can be the role for you.
