Tesco to hire 28,500 temporary staff for Christmas period

Tesco has announced plans to recruit more than 28,500 temporary staff to support operations during the busy Christmas trading period.
The roles will be available mainly across the supermarket’s Superstores and Extra branches, with shifts offered in the early morning, daytime and evening. Positions include serving customers, restocking shelves and preparing online orders for home delivery.
Ela Golab, group people services director at Tesco, said: “We’re excited to be recruiting festive colleagues to help make it a season to remember for our customers. With the busy Christmas period ahead, we are looking for people who can bring warmth, enthusiasm and a helpful service to every shopping trip.
“No day is ever the same, and festive colleagues will be able to feel the impact they make on every shift, as they send customers home with a smile. What’s more, no experience is necessary – just the right attitude.”
News of Tesco’s recruitment announcement comes after Superdrug also revealed it is hiring 1,000 temporary sales assistants to help stores manage demand around Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Christmas.
