Sponsored

  • Stock replenishment (day and night)
  • Click + Collect and customer order pickers

Entry-Level Tesco Roles That Are Open Now

Here’s a closer look at some of the easiest roles currently hiring across Tesco locations:

  • Shelf Filler (Day/Night) – Unloading stock, restocking shelves and keeping displays tidy. Ideal for early birds or night owls. Requires physical stamina but no customer interaction.
  • Personal Shopper – Picking and preparing online orders. You’ll work behind the scenes using a handheld device to collect items from the shop floor. Training is provided on day one.
  • Cleaner – Keeping aisles, staff rooms and facilities clean and safe. Flexible hours and solo work make it a popular entry point.
  • Checkout Assistant (Selected Locations) – Greeting customers, scanning items, and handling payments. A good fit for friendly personalities. Some locations offer training to support communication if English isn’t your first language.

All roles come with clear tasks, paid breaks and full training. Most require no interview — just online registration and basic eligibility checks.

How Much You Can Earn at Tesco Without Experience

Hourly pay rates vary slightly by region and shift pattern, but in most cases, you can expect:

  • £11.00 to £11.75/hour for day shifts
  • £12.50/hour+ for night shifts (typically 10 PM to 6 AM)
  • Extra pay on Sundays and Bank Holidays

Wages are paid weekly, with your first payment arriving one or two weeks after your start date depending on your location. Uniforms and training are fully covered by Tesco — you won’t have to buy anything upfront.

Shift Patterns That Fit Around Your Life

One of Tesco’s strengths is its shift flexibility. Many store-based jobs are available across early mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends. You can request fixed part-time shifts (e.g. 2–3 days/week) or full-time availability.

Examples of typical shift schedules include:

  • 06:00 – 10:00 (morning restock)
  • 10:00 – 18:00 (standard day shift)
  • 18:00 – 23:00 (evening replenishment)
  • 22:00 – 06:00 (night shift – higher pay)

These schedules are ideal for students, parents, carers, and anyone needing reliable but non-traditional hours.

What You Need to Apply (Spoiler: Not Much)

Tesco makes it easy to apply for entry-level positions. For most roles, you don’t need to upload a CV or cover letter. The basic requirements include:

  • Right to work in the UK (passport, residency, visa, etc.)
  • Basic English for following safety procedures and team communication
  • A reliable attitude and willingness to learn

Applications are submitted via Tesco’s careers portal or through selected third-party job boards. Some store managers may reach out directly for short phone calls or offer start dates by email after verifying your application.

Benefits You Get from Day One

Even in basic roles, Tesco offers strong employee benefits that begin immediately:

  • 10% staff discount (rising to 15% on special days)
  • Pension contributions
  • 28 days of paid holiday (pro rata)
  • Training and internal progression opportunities
  • Discounts on mobile plans, travel, and partner services

Many new hires stay at Tesco long-term due to its team culture, job security, and growth pathways into team lead or full-time management roles.
