Our Customer Delivery Driver rate of pay starts from £14.18 an hour; this increases to £15.45 for stores inside the M25. Additional payments may also apply depending on location.
We offer a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week but can accommodate fewer hours (minimum 12) if requested.
The table shows the periods of time in the week we would like you to be available to work – the availability windows. Your shifts will be scheduled within these times, and you will receive at least 3 weeks’ notice of your exact shifts.
Customers are at the heart of everything we do.
As the face of Tesco out on the road, you will deliver all ways from Lands’ End to John O’Groats. Your role is about more than driving – it is about helping others and delivering great service with a smile.
Your day will be hands‑on, physical and full of variety. No two shifts are ever the same and our customers look for help in many different ways. Most of the day you feel like your own boss, delivering to customers, while a team of managers and colleagues at base supports you.
We welcome flexibility, stability, and an opportunity to change career direction for everyone.
