And we are pleased to be able to share this job opportunity news from Tesco with our readers.
There's good news for job-hunting students and families looking to offset increasing bills and wanting to return to the workforce. Tesco wants to hear from you.
This year Tesco is recruiting 15,000 temporary Colleagues all over the UK to help customers for coverage over the busy Christmas period.
In the main, the jobs will involve working in Tesco’s Superstores and Extra stores for either early morning, day or evening time shifts, so prospective applicants will be able to find an opportunity that fits around their lives.
Rachel Bushby, Tesco People Director said: “We know times are tougher out there at the moment, so this is a good opportunity for anyone looking to boost their income over the festive period or who needs to find a stepping stone back into the world of work.
“These Christmas period jobs have traditionally been popular with students looking to earn some extra money during the holidays, plus people who simply want to help their local community to enjoy a great Christmas.
“The kinds of people we're looking for are those who work well in teams, are flexible and also love helping others and are prepared to make a special effort to achieve that.”
The new colleagues will help Tesco meet high demand as customers look to make Christmas savings. Especially seeing that Tesco has just locked low prices on over 1,000 products until 2023, plus helping shoppers get exclusive deals on Clubcard Prices at the checkouts.
Once the seasonal period comes to an end, there could well be opportunities for colleagues taken on over the season to apply for any permanent roles that are available in Tesco stores.
One person, who did that last year, is customer assistant Mehboob Ismail from Manchester, who works at his local Cheetham Hill Superstore.
Mehboob, 50, was a machine operator for many years for another company but lost his job when the pandemic struck.
Last November, a few days after losing his job, he applied for a temporary festive Colleague job and the great news is that he's still there, working in the store’s Produce department after nearly a year.
Mehboob said: “I love being part of a bigger team and all the colleagues and managers are friendly and supportive. A highlight for me is being given the responsibility to look after the big seasonal events aisles during Christmas.
“My advice to anyone considering taking up a Festive Colleague job? "Just give it a go, you have nothing to lose."
“I found myself out of work at a very tough time but Tesco gave me a chance, at my age with no qualifications, and I am still here now as a permanent colleague, with job security and I love working here.”
