Flexible Working
We know life looks a little different for each of us. That’s why at One Stop, we always welcome chats about flexible working. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life‑changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.

One Stop Benefits
At One Stop, we value our colleagues just as much as our customers - and that’s reflected in the wide range of benefits we offer. To explore the full list of colleague benefits, please click here and scroll to the bottom of our Careers Page. As a proud subsidiary of the Tesco Group, One Stop operates as an independent business. This means that while we share the same values, the benefits we offer may differ from those available at Tesco.

Community Involvement
At One Stop, being part of the community is at the heart of everything we do. From supporting local charities and groups to partnering with national organisations, we are proud to give back in meaningful ways. Over the past decade, we have raised over £10.4 million for good causes and donated the equivalent of 1.6 million meals through our partnerships with FareShare and Olio, helping to reduce food waste and support those in need. Working with us means you will have the chance to make a real difference whether it’s climbing mountains, running marathons, or simply organising a local raffle, our colleagues go the extra mile to support the causes they care about.
