Our Stronger Starts Café Apprenticeship is a great opportunity to build your confidence, develop new skills and gain hands-on experience while working as part of a friendly café team.
You’ll join us as a Café Team Member and, after three months of settling into work, enrol onto a Level 2 Food and Hospitality Apprenticeship.
Your apprenticeship will give you the opportunity to develop your knowledge and practical experience while working within the Café.
As part of your working pattern, your days may change from week to week depending on the café rota and can include weekends and Bank Holidays. You’ll need to be available to work shifts Monday to Sunday between 6:30am and 6:00pm
You don’t need to know everything from day one. You’ll learn on the job, gaining experience across both front and back of house. This could include preparing and serving food and drinks, providing great customer service, keeping the café clean and welcoming, and learning how we operate safely and legally.
We know that starting work and an apprenticeship can feel like a big step, so you’ll have support throughout your journey. You’ll also receive support from The King’s Trust, including three months of in-work support through their Power Up programme.
We recruit on a rolling basis, so early applications are encouraged. Positions may close as soon as we’ve received enough suitable applications, which means some roles may fill earlier than others.
If you have any questions about the recruitment process or require additional support, please contact the recruitment team at TescoEarlyCareers@groupgti.com or on 0207 654 7212.

You might know us as a supermarket, technology company or even for our award-winning mobile network or through our Café’s. Truth is, we’re all those things, and much more. Our colleagues work with one goal in mind: helping to make every day a little better for our customers, colleagues and communities.
No two people are the same, and we want you to feel supported throughout your application. You can talk to us about any support or reasonable adjustments you might need during the recruitment process.
