About us

Our vision at Tesco is to become every customer\'s favourite way to shop, whether they are at home or out on the move. Our core purpose is "Serving our customers, communities and planet a little better every day". Serving means more than a transactional relationship with our customers. It means acting as a responsible and sustainable business for all stakeholders, for the communities we are part of and for the planet.

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.
