About Tesco

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 a transactional relationship with our customers. It means acting as a responsible and sustainable business for all stakeholders, for the communities we are part of and for the planet.

Serious about Security

We have millions of customers worldwide, and protecting their data is our highest priority. We’re looking to recruit cyber security experts – “Petabyte Protectors” - who excel at challenges on this scale – join our team to use your strategic and tactical moves to stay ahead of the game.

We are proud to have an inclusive culture at Tesco where everyone truly feels able to be themselves. At Tesco, we not only celebrate diversity, but recognise the value and opportunity it brings. We're committed to creating a workplace where differences are valued, and make sure that all colleagues are given the same opportunities. We're a big business with diverse working patterns and many business areas which means that we can find something that works for you. Everyone is welcome at Tesco.

NOTE: Should you be successful in your application, your offer will be subject to and conditional upon you providing your bank account details, and evidence of right to work for the duration of the programme on your agreed start date. 

Our new two-year Retail graduate programme will ensure you gain a breadth of valuable retail experience early in your career. You'll have the opportunity to work in different store formats, from our small Express stores to our large Extra stores, as well as a Distribution Centre (DC) or Customer Fulfilment Centre (CFC). Through diverse placements, plus a head office project, you'll see how different parts of the business work hand-in-hand to serve customers a little better every day.

Colleagues in our stores are making a difference for customers with a friendly, flexible approach, while DC and CFC colleagues make sure customers can get the right products, at the right time, and at the level of quality they've come to expect from us. As a Retail graduate, you'll be understanding what matters for our customers and inspiring a team of colleagues to put customers at the heart of everything we do. We'll support you in gaining vital management skills to help you lead and develop your team. 

Who we are looking for

We’re looking for graduates with an energetic and enthusiastic attitude, not forgetting a passion for retail! You’ll love a challenge and be able to think on your feet. The real success in this role will come from working as part of a team and being great with people.

Working in our stores, DCs and CFCs

For each of your three roles, we’ll place you in a store, DC or CFC that maximises your opportunity for development. To support you getting a breadth of experience, you might need to re-locate after six months, and again after your first year.

Benefits

We offer excellent benefits that help make Tesco a great place to work! These include but aren’t limited to:

  • Annual bonus scheme 
  • Holiday starting at 20 days plus a personal day rising to 22 days after 12 months (plus 8 Bank holidays)
  • Retirement savings plan - save between 4% and 7.5% and Tesco will match your contribution
  • Life Assurance - 5 x contractual pay
  • Great colleague deals and discounts, saving you money on everyday purchases, eating out and utility bills for the home
  • Opportunities to get on - take advantage of our ongoing learning opportunities and award-winning training, to help you achieve the job and career you want

We've signed the Gradcracker feedback pledge.
