Tesco has launched a festive recruitment drive ahead of the busy Christmas period as it looks for 30,000 temporary colleagues across the UK.
The jobs in the leading retailers Superstores and Extra stores could involve working on checkouts, picking orders for home delivery or replenishing the store across early morning, day or evening shifts.
When the seasonal demand period comes to an end, Tesco has said there may be opportunities for Christmas colleagues to apply for any permanent roles available in stores.

Tesco people director, James Goodman, said: “This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to boost their earnings over the festive period or who needs to find a route back into the workplace.
“We had a great response for festive roles last year and we would love to hear from anyone who worked with us then. With part-time, temporary roles available across the UK, there are a variety of different shift patterns on offer, making sure these roles fit around different individual needs and lifestyles.”
This comes as Sainsbury’s is creating 22,000 additional seasonal roles nationwide, including 2,000 at Argos, ahead of the busy Christmas period.
Morrisons is also looking to recruit an additional 3,500 workers over the Christmas period and Aldi is looking to recruit 3,000 new store workers for both temporary and permanent positions.
