Our Shift Leader rate of pay starts from £14.28 an hour; this increases to £15.41 for stores inside the M25. Additional payments may also apply depending on location and skills.

It’s our policy to offer new colleagues joining us a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week, but if you’d like to work fewer hours (to a minimum of 12) we have opportunities for this too and would still love to hear from you.

The table shows the periods of time in the week we’d like you to be available to work – the availability windows. We will schedule your contracted hours within these times, and you’ll have 3 weeks’ notice of exactly when your shifts will be. We are happy to support flexibility for our colleagues, therefore if the times you’re available to work match closely but not exactly to the times we are advertising, we’d still love to hear from you.

Customers are at the heart of everything we do.

It takes a lot of great people to run one of our stores, and it takes a great Shift Leader to support them all and keep things running smoothly. From helping customers to making sure store operations stay on track, being a Shift Leader at Tesco is a truly rewarding role. You’ll face lots of interesting challenges as you oversee the store from the shop floor and strive to make things just that little bit better for customers, colleagues and communities, every day.

  • Work in a fast-paced retail environment, with bags of variety.
  • Take ownership of running duty shifts, coordinating the team to deliver a clean, well-stocked store that exceeds customer expectations.
  • Be there for customers, listening to them and helping to make sure they leave the store with what they came for.
  • Look for ways to improve service, including coaching your colleagues and giving feedback to the team.
  • Guide and support your colleagues in-store, making sure it stays a safe place to work and shop.
  • Maintain a great understanding of how your store is performing, and assist managers in delivering any actions that help improve the running of the store.
  • Lead from the front, and set a great example for your colleagues in everything you do.

Please note that you need to be 18 or over to apply for this role.

  • Supporting your colleagues, ensuring they deliver daily priorities and take regular breaks.
  • Opening and closing the store, and completing duty cover, ensuring all decisions made are right for everyone’s safety.
  • Being the go-to person for colleagues in the absence of a manager for day-to-day queries.
  • Making sure the store is always clean, tidy, and well-presented.
  • Supporting managers to coordinate seasonal, community and charity events.
  • Contributing to a great team atmosphere, that’s inclusive of everyone.
  • Providing great customer service, by listening to our customers and putting them first in everything you do.
  • Keeping the team well-informed and up to speed on any communications, changes, or updates.
  • Staying knowledgeable about store performance, and looking for ways to improve and simplify operations.
  • Coordinating store improvements, and removing any obstacles that might be getting in the way of great service.
  • Following health and safety routines and procedures, and ensuring colleagues do the same.
  • Recognising and celebrating colleagues within the team who are providing great service.
  • To build strong, long-lasting relationships with colleagues to create a positive and inclusive team atmosphere that encourages everyone to do their best work.
  • To be a clear communicator, comfortable with using a variety of methods to keep your team well-informed and up to date.
  • To be comfortable taking the lead, and overseeing the store in the absence of your Manager.
  • To be a good decision maker, who’s flexible in the way you think, and comfortable handling change to ensure everything we do is right for customers and colleagues.
  • To be motivating, so you can inspire your team to deliver beyond expectations.
  • To be curious, and always on the lookout for ideas and opportunities to serve our customers, communities, and planet a little better every day.
About us

Our vision at Tesco is to become every customer's favourite way to shop, whether they are at home or out on the move. Our core purpose is ‘Serving our customers, communities and planet a little better every day’. Serving means more than a transactional relationship with our customers. It means acting as a responsible and sustainable business for all stakeholders, for the communities we are part of and for the planet.

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) at Tesco means that whoever you are and whatever your background, we always want you to feel represented and that you can be yourself at work. In short, we’re a place where Everyone’s Welcome.

We know life looks a little different for each of us. That’s why at Tesco, we always welcome chats about flexible working. 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. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.

We’re proud to have been accredited Disability Confident Leader and we’re committed to providing a fully inclusive and accessible recruitment process.
