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. It's hands‑on, physical and full of variety, with no two shifts the same. You'll work independently for much of the day, with a supportive team of managers and colleagues back at base whenever you need them. 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 offer a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours a week, with options from 12 hours if you prefer. Your shifts will be scheduled within the availability windows shown, and you'll get at least 3 weeks' notice. If your availability is close to what we need, we still encourage you to apply.
