After all, no one tries harder for customers than us.

Tesco Cafés are a place to get on. We believe in creating a great environment for colleagues to work and providing opportunities for everyone to be at their best. With your previous experience, you'll help to deliver skills as you build an inclusive place where people feel respected, safe, and valued. In doing so, you'll grow as a leader and develop your skills and experience as part of our friendly team.

You will be responsible for

• Storage and preparation in line with food safety and hygiene regulations.

You will need

• A background in hospitality.

• Confidence using your initiative to identify opportunities to improve our ways of working or adapt to different situations.
• Excellent communication skills to motivate and support a growing team.

What's in it for you?

Alongside a fantastic work-life balance, we offer excellent benefits that help make The Café a great place to work. These include but are not limited to:

• Colleague Clubcard after 3 months' service - 10% increasing to 15% after every pay day for a four-day period, off most purchases at Tesco.
