Colleague Extra

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 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.

We schedule your contracted hours within your available periods. An employee will receive three weeks' notice of exactly when your shifts will be. If your availability matches closely but not exactly with advertised times we still encourage you to apply.
