A job where you are in the driving seat!
This HGV skills bootcamp is a structured 16-week programme, enabling colleagues the opportunity to gain their class 1 (Cat C+E) license with Tesco! The programme starts on 2nd December, all successful applicants will need to be able to join us on this date.
As the face of Tesco out on the road, our HGV drivers get the opportunity to meet and talk to different colleagues at stores. That�s why this role is about much more than just driving: it's about helping others and delivering great service, with a smile. No two shifts are ever the same, for most of the day you�ll feel like your own boss, out on the road delivering to our stores, but there is always a team of managers and colleagues back at the distribution centre ready to support you when you need them. You�ll meet great people, learn new things and be part of a specialist, diverse team, where everyone is welcome. Whether you are looking for stability or flexibility to suit your lifestyle, or the opportunity to progress your career, this can be the role for you.

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.�

Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.
