About the role
At Tesco, we believe in the power of spending more time
together, face to face, than apart. So, during your working week, you can
expect to spend 60% of your time in one of our office locations or local sites
and the rest remotely. We also recognise that life looks a little different for
each of us. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the
freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing
moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or
something else. That’s why at Tesco, we always welcome a conversation about
flexible working. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can
support.
