Tesco Ireland has announced the creation of nearly 1,200 temporary festive roles across its Superstores and Extra stores nationwide, providing much-needed employment opportunities during the busy Christmas period.
These roles are designed to offer flexible hours, a variety of shift options, and competitive benefits from day one, making them attractive for individuals seeking work over the festive season.
Seasonal recruitment
As part of its seasonal recruitment drive, Tesco is looking for enthusiastic people to join its workforce and deliver exceptional service to customers.
Whether you’re looking for extra hours to suit your schedule or seeking new opportunities, these roles offer a chance to contribute to a dynamic and supportive team.
All employees, from their very first day, will benefit from Tesco’s competitive reward and benefits package, which includes free access to a Virtual GP, life assurance*, and a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) that provides 24/7 emotional and wellbeing support to staff and their families.
These benefits reflect Tesco’s commitment to colleague wellbeing under its “Wellbeing First” approach, which focuses on supporting the Body, Mind, and Life of its team members.
Meaningful employment
“At Tesco, we recognise the importance of offering meaningful and flexible employment opportunities that cater to people’s diverse needs,” said Maurice Kelly, people director, Tesco Ireland.
Kelly noted that the festive season is the perfect time to join Tesco Ireland’s team, while being provided with industry-leading benefits packages from day one.
“We also encourage those who join us during this period to explore permanent roles in our stores as we continue to grow in Ireland.”
The positions available span the length and breadth of Ireland, and Tesco is encouraging interested candidates to apply online as soon as possible. After the holiday season, temporary workers will be invited to apply for any permanent roles that become available, either in existing stores or in new Tesco locations planned for the coming year.
