Seasonal Colleague

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 a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week. If you prefer to work fewer hours (to a minimum of 12), we have opportunities for that as well and would still love to hear from you.

We provide you with a table that shows the periods of time in the week we would like you to be available to work – the availability windows. Your contracted hours will be scheduled within these times, and you will receive three weeks' notice of your shifts. If your available times match closely, even if not exactly what we advertise, we would still love to hear from you.

Customers are at the heart of everything we do.

It takes many different people to run a store, and this is a job for doers. It is a committed role full of everyday challenges, making it exciting.
