Colleague - Leytonstone Superstore

Overview

Our Tesco Colleague rate of pay starts from £13.28 an hour; this increases to £14.55 for stores within the M25. Additional payments may also apply depending on location.

It is policy to offer new colleagues joining us a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week, but fewer hours (to a minimum of 12) are also available.

The table shows the periods of time in the week we would like you to be available to work – the availability windows. We will schedule your contracted hours within these times, and you will have three weeks' notice of your shifts. We support flexibility; if the times you are available closely match what we advertise, we are still happy to consider you.

Our vision at Tesco is to become every customer's favourite way to shop, whether they are at home or out on the move. Our core purpose is ‘Serving our customers, communities and planet a little better every day’. Serving means more than transactional relationships; it means acting as a responsible and sustainable business for all stakeholders, the communities we are part of and the planet.
