Online jobs

Tesco is to create 16,000 new permanent roles to support growth in its online business.

These will include 10,000 pickers to assemble customer orders and 3,000 drivers to deliver them, plus various other roles in stores and distribution centres.

The grocery giant expects the majority of these roles to be filled by colleagues who joined on a temporary basis at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In April, Tesco became the first retailer to fulfil one million online grocery orders in a week. It now serves nearly 1.5 million customers a week online, up from around 600,000 at the start of the pandemic. It says that the number of new roles may increase further in the coming months.
