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 and would still love to hear from you.

The period of time in the week we would like you to be available to work is shown in 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 your available times match closely but not exactly, we would 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 all the way from Lands\’ End to John O\’Groats. Our Customer Delivery Drivers have the opportunity to meet and talk to different customers in their homes every day. This role is about more than just 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 the same, and customers look for help in all kinds of different ways. Most of the day you\’ll feel like your own boss, delivering to customers, but there is always a team of Managers and colleagues back at base to support you when you need them.

Whether you are seeking flexibility, job stability or a change of career direction, everyone is welcome at Tesco.
