Working at Tesco Mobile means being employed by one of our joint venture shareholders – Tesco or Telefónica O2. Our head office roles are advertised with Tesco or Telefónica O2 and retail roles are advertised through Tesco.
We are proud to have an inclusive culture at Tesco Mobile where everyone is welcome and truly feels able to be themselves.

We have recently announced that we will be moving towards a more blended working week – combining office and remote working. Our base will be the office, where we connect, collaborate and innovate – and there will be the expectation for everyone to be in the office more often than not. For Head Office roles we therefore expect colleagues to spend a proportion of their time at our offices.
We are supportive of colleagues having conversations with hiring managers about what office presence will look like in the context of the role.
