Tesco Colleague - Newtown Superstore

Overview

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 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 available hours are shown as 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 for our colleagues, therefore if the times you are available to work match closely but not exactly to the times we are advertising, we would still love to hear from you.

Customers are at the heart of everything we do.

It takes lots of different people to run a store and this is a job for doers, with plenty of variety. It is a committed role, full of everyday challenges, but that is one of the things that makes it so exciting.

• Being a colleague in one of our stores means that you will help to serve our shoppers better every day.
• You will meet great people, learn new things and be part of a specialist, diverse team where everyone is welcome.
• Whether you are looking for stability or flexibility to suit your lifestyle, or the opportunity to progress your career, this can be the role for you.

PLEASE NOTE YOU MUST BE OVER 18 TO APPLY FOR THIS ROLE.
