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.

Delivering within the customer’s time slot, providing warm, natural service at the doorstep and leaving customers feeling valued and well looked after.
