Career progression
Jack Cohen founded Tesco in 1919 using just £30 to set up a market stall in East London. On his first day trading he sold £4 of goods, making £1 profit on sales.
Today, Tesco employs 330,000+ employees across 11 markets and has recorded group sales of £62.8bn.
We're really proud to be a business full of varied and exciting opportunities for all. We give our colleagues the tools to shape their own future with a career path that meets their own personal goals and aspirations.
Whether colleagues want to learn and grow in their current job, find a new job in a specialist area or move to a completely different part of the business to gain more experience, there's lots of exciting career opportunities here at Tesco and plenty of support available.
🛒 Everything we do begins and ends with our customers. By understanding our customers, we can anticipate and respond to their needs and expectations.As a Group we serve a wide range of different customers, in different settings, from retail customers through to banking, mobile, Booker’s wholesale customers, and dunnhumby’s retailer and supplier clients.
🤝 The role we play in the thousands of communities we serve is vital – whether it's creating good jobs, supporting local suppliers and producers, or helping local causes through our community programmes.
🌎 Our commitment to sustainability is core to our business. It drives our work across our own operations and our supply chain to reduce our environmental impact and support a healthier way of living.

A little flexibility in start and finish times
At Tesco, we put our values at the heart of everything we do. Our colleagues work to one goal, helping to make every day a little better for our customers, colleagues, communities and planet.
We invest in our teams and aim to create a friendly place where work is enjoyable, and you can feel empowered to develop your career.
Your career development is important to us. With mentoring and learning opportunities every step of the way, we’re here to provide the tools you need to succeed.
We know that wellbeing means putting the things that matter first. Tesco benefits are designed to help you take care of your mental, physical and financial wellbeing. We work to make sure you have what you need to thrive, in and out of work.
We embrace and celebrate the backgrounds and identities of all our colleagues. Our business is built on unique perspectives, so we do everything to create an environment where everyone can be themselves and feel welcome.
At Tesco, we put colleague wellbeing first, in lots of little ways (and some big ways too). It’s all about helping our colleagues make every day a little better for themselves and their families, in whatever way works for them.
We have flexible and hybrid working options to support your work-life balance at Tesco, and access to wellbeing experts to support colleagues’ mental health through our Employee Assistance Programme. As a Tesco colleague, you’ll have access to everything you need to help you be at your best.
At Tesco we recognise that over time the needs of our colleagues change, from our children growing up and needing different childcare, to family relatives becoming elderly, or perhaps just taking time to explore new hobbies and interests.
Flexible working arrangements at Tesco provide the opportunity for a healthy work-life balance. As well as allowing us to attract and retain colleagues who enjoy a wide range of activities outside of work, it allows colleagues to balance both their own needs and the needs of our customers.
We have updated this policy, ahead of UK legislation, giving colleagues the option to request flexible working as soon as they join Tesco, instead of the having to wait for six months. This means, we can offer flexible working in a way that suits colleagues, inside and outside of Tesco.

No two customers are the same, neither are our colleagues. At Tesco, we celebrate the backgrounds and identities of all our colleagues. After all, it’s their unique perspectives that help make us who we are. So, we do everything we can to create an environment where everybody can be themselves.
Wherever you join us, you'll have the chance to be part of our networks, created by our colleagues, for our colleagues. Please note that our colleague networks differ based on our business area.
