Essential
Desired
We offer excellent benefits that help make Tesco a great place to work. These include but aren’t limited to:
A 50-50 joint venture between Tesco and Telefónica O2 that was established back in 2003, Tesco Mobile has gone from strength to strength as we’ve launched into new services and markets. With more than 5 million customers, we’re the largest mobile virtual network operator in the UK. We’re proud to have an inclusive culture that’s uniquely Tesco Mobile, with a strong sense of community, plus all the benefits of working for one of the shareholders.
We care for human connection and we keep our customers at the heart of everything we do, which is why we’ve embraced the Agile way of working. Agile is more than just a methodology – it’s a liberating journey that puts customers and purpose first. It empowers us to self-organise, collaborate, co-create and rapidly inspect and adapt everything we do – allowing us to respond at pace to our customers’ needs. It encourages variety of thought and enables us to thrive, both individually and collectively.
We pride ourselves on being a company where everyone’s welcome and truly feels able to be themselves. We not only celebrate diversity but recognise the value and opportunity it brings in helping us to serving our customers, communities and planet a little better every day. We strive to build a workforce that reflects our customers, not only here in the UK, but worldwide. In offering many varying working patterns across our business, our aim is to attract a diverse range of applicants from all walks of life. If you’re as passionate as we are about providing the best customer experience, we’d love to hear from you.
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.
