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 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.

What’s in it for you?

• Holiday starting at 20 days plus a personal day, rising to 22 days after 12 months (plus Bank Holidays)


• Flexible working available from day one


• 10% off with your Colleague Clubcard, rising to 15% on pay‑day weekends, with a second card to share with family


• Free wellbeing services to support your mind, body and life


• Life cover worth five times your pay and an award‑winning pension with matching contributions up to 7.5%


• A range of benefits to choose from, including discounts, shares and cycle‑to‑work schemes
