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.

• Keeping your van, trays, and work area clean, tidy, and organised so every customer receives their shopping in perfect condition.
• 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.

• 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.
