TESCO Ireland has announced the addition of 1,200 temporary jobs for Christmas.
These roles are available at Tesco’s Superstores and Extra stores with major employment opportunities during one of the busiest times of the year.
With flexible hours, various shift options, and a competitive benefits package starting from day one, Tesco’s positions are ideal for those seeking work over the festive period.
From the first day, employees will enjoy Tesco’s industry-leading rewards, including free access to a Virtual GP service, life assurance and a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
Tesco’s commitment to employee wellbeing is at the heart of its “Wellbeing First” initiative, which aims to support the body, mind and life of every team member.
Along with these benefits, staff will also receive access to 24/7 emotional and well-being support through the EAP, which extends to family members living at the same address.
People Director at Tesco Ireland Maurice Kelly shared his enthusiasm for the 1,200 positions, noting that the roles provide flexible work during the holiday season.
He said: “We are thrilled to be generating almost 1,200 additional festive roles across the country this Christmas.
“At Tesco, we recognise the importance of offering meaningful and flexible employment opportunities that cater to people’s diverse needs.
“The festive season is a wonderful time to join our team, and we’re delighted to provide our new colleagues with an industry-leading benefits package from day one.”
Maurice emphasised that joining the team this Christmas could lead to permanent opportunities, as Tesco continues to grow its presence across Ireland.
The roles are available across Tesco stores nationwide, with the company encouraging prospective applicants to apply online as soon as possible.
After the Christmas season, temporary workers will be invited to apply for permanent positions, either in their current stores or in new locations opening next year.
Major perks for employees
In addition to competitive pay, Tesco offers a range of well-being perks, including the Virtual GP service, which provides confidential access to online consultations and prescriptions.
Staff members at Tesco Ireland also benefit from life assurance coverage.
This automatically includes employees aged 16 to 69 and offers one times their annual salary in coverage.
Sustainability perks are another benefit with Tesco’s Bike to Work and Commuter schemes.
This offers employees ways to save on travel to work while supporting environmentally-friendly commuting options.
Whether you’re looking to earn extra income, gain work experience, or explore a potential long-term career with the company, Tesco’s festive positions offer something for everyone.
