Overview

As a Team Member in our café, you\'re part of everything - a bit of cooking, a bit of chatting with customers, and a lot of impact. As someone dedicated to great service, you\'ll make sure that every dish you prepare and serve lives up to the promise of our menu and meets all safety standards. You\'ll also help keep everything, from kitchen equipment to customer tables, tidy and clean.

It\'s a lively role, full of everyday challenges, but that\'s part of what makes it exciting. Flexible working hours, opportunities for progression and much more are available.

We offer a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours per week, with options to work fewer hours (minimum 12) if desired, and we would still love to hear from you.

The availability windows show the periods of time in the week we would like you to be available to work. We will schedule your contracted hours within these times, and you\'ll have 3 weeks\' notice of your shifts. We are happy to support flexibility if your available times closely, but not exactly, match the advertised times.

Please note that you need to be 18 or over to apply for this role.

• Colleague Clubcard after 3 months service - 10% increasing to 15% after every pay day for a four-day period, off most purchases at Tesco
• Request flexible working from day one
• Retirement savings plan
• Life Assurance
• Access to free wellbeing services with a range of resources to support your mind, body, and life
• An exclusive deals and discounts website saving you money on everyday purchases, treats for the family, eating out and utility bills for the home
• Uniform provided and policies to support you for all of life's moments, big and small
• Holiday starting at 28 days (Including Bank Holidays)
• Access to our colleague networks providing a space for colleagues to come together from a range of backgrounds. For more information about our colleague networks please read here

We know life looks a little different for each of us. That\'s why at Tesco, we always welcome chats about flexible working. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. 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.
