Welcome to Tesco Careers

Expect a little more

If you're prepared to go the extra mile for our customers, you can expect more of what you need with Tesco. More opportunities to develop valuable skills. More scope to make a valuable contribution. More ways to get on in your career. The list goes on and on.

For us, "Every little helps" is much more than just a slogan. It's what we all work towards every day. Across the business, we're all committed to doing more for our customers, communities and each other. It's this upbeat, collaborative culture that makes Tesco such a special place to work.

Our operations in the UK are the largest within the Group, with over 3400 stores and over 450,000 colleagues. We have strengthened the foundations of the UK business and we are now accelerating plans to deliver the most compelling offer for customers with sharper prices, improved quality, stronger ranges and better service.

Stores and Distribution

Today, Tesco employs over 450,000 employees across 11 markets and at the heart of all Tesco does is what Jack set out to do almost 100 years ago…. Serving shoppers a little better every day. Our total commitment to giving the best possible service to our customers is central to our business.

In the UK, Tesco clocks up 42 million transactions per week – roughly 66 per second. We have two and half times the range size of our nearest competitor and with annual sales of £1.3bn, Tesco Finest is the biggest food brand in the UK.

As a member of our Stores or Distribution team you could be based anywhere around the UK, we have opportunities across the country, whether that is in our stores, our food or non-food distribution centres.

Maintenance and Engineering

Tesco Maintenance is one of the leading retail maintenance providers, delivering Maintenance and Engineering solutions to over 2,700 stores, Distribution Centres, Offices, Tesco Bank and Data Centres across the UK. Our Engineering team crosses a broad spectrum of equipment and technology, ranging from Fire Alarms to Refrigeration.

Armed Forces at Tesco Network

The Armed Forces at Tesco Network is there to help bring together veterans, reservists and their families. As a network our priorities are to:

  • Support Service Leavers
    • by providing access to Tesco as an example of what service leavers can expect from a civilian employer
    • by supporting former military colleagues with transition from military life
  • Support colleagues with family in the armed forces
  • Support colleagues who are Reservists

So, if you’re keen to have a say about how Tesco can help our armed forces community, reconnect with people with a similar interest and background, or if you just want to pull up a sandbag and swing the lantern, there’s a group of people at Tesco exactly like you.
