Job description

As the face of Tesco on the road, our Customer Delivery Drivers meet customers in their homes every day. This role is about much more than driving; it's about helping people and delivering great service with a smile.

Customer Delivery Driver pay starts at £14.18 per hour, rising to £15.45 in stores within the M25. Some locations may offer additional payments. We guarantee a minimum of 16 hours per week, though roles from 12 hours are also available.

• Loading the van safely and completing all checks to ensure it's roadworthy, reliable, and ready to deliver great service.
• Talking customers through any order changes, substitutions, or short-dated items in a friendly, reassuring way, and offering refunds where needed to keep the experience smooth and positive.
• Handling products with care, treating every order as if it were your own to maintain quality and customer trust.
• Delivering within the customer's time slot, providing warm, natural service at the doorstep and leaving customers feeling valued and well looked after.

You will need

• Build strong relationships with colleagues to create great team spirit and deliver the best service for customers.
• Be warm and welcoming with customers and colleagues.
• Respond quickly to changing customer needs and embrace change while out on the road and in the store.
• Hold a valid UK/EU/EEA driving licence (full or automatic) for at least 12 months, with no more than 3 penalty points.

Tesco's vision is to be every customer's favourite way to shop. Our purpose is to serve customers, communities and the planet a little better every day by acting responsibly and sustainably.
