Tesco Apprenticeship Programme

Being an apprentice

At Tesco, we welcome diversity, individuality and uniqueness. We always want our colleagues to feel they can be themselves at work and we’re committed to helping them be at their best. We’re building an inclusive workplace, where we actively celebrate the cultures, personalities and preferences of our colleagues who share the same purpose, to serve our customers, communities and planet a little better every day, and you’ll have a vital part to play.

You’ll be encouraged to try new things, push yourself and learn from mistakes while you get hands-on experience. You’ll also have paid, time out to study, so you can complete your apprenticeship. And, like all Tesco colleagues, you’ll have access to a wide variety of workshops and resources, to help you develop skills like resilience and adaptable thinking, as well as how to look after your wellbeing. And don’t worry, your colleagues will be there to support you throughout your apprenticeship.

Salary

We offer our apprentices a competitive salary of £22,501.44 – £23,000.00 and a permanent contract. You’ll also be eligible for a bonus payment, depending on your own performance and how the business performs.

Benefits

You’ll get between 20-25 days holiday pro rata (depending on your apprenticeship), 8 Bank Holidays, plus a personal day. You’ll also receive access to exclusive deals and discounts, saving you money on everyday purchases and treats, not to mention 10% off at Tesco once you’ve been here for three months!

Pension

Even though retirement may be many years away, you’ll be offered the Tesco Retirement Savings Plan when you join. You can choose to save from 4% and we’ll match how much you pay, up to 7.5%.

What it’s like working here

The office is a relaxed and friendly environment, with a casual dress code. We have flexible work spaces and places to enjoy down-time with colleagues. Office colleagues get a laptop, so they can work anywhere on campus and from home.

Learning path

You’ll build your skills for the future with real-life experience, workshops and resources, as well as support and mentoring from your colleagues. Heart, our on-site training academy makes it easy to take advantage of learning sessions – from quick Lunch and Learns to more in-depth courses. Apprentices working in store will also have the same access to training, but delivered locally by one of our experienced Learning Partners.

Health and wellbeing

At Tesco, wellbeing comes first. That means providing you with the best tools that we can, to support your wellbeing, inside and outside of work. It could be a call with a GP or a wellbeing expert. Tips in getting your finances back on track. Or a workplace adjustment. All of these and more are available to help you with any positive changes you wish to make, whenever and wherever you need them.
