Tesco Ireland has announced plans to create almost 1,200 temporary festive jobs nationwide, in a significant boost to seasonal employment.
The retailer has designed the roles to offer flexible hours, as well as a variety of shift options and competitive benefits.
This makes Ireland’s number-two retailer an attractive option for those looking for work over the festive season.
As part of the recruitment drive, Tesco is looking for enthusiastic people to join its team. Successful candidates will subsequently deliver exceptional service to customers.
All employees will receive Tesco’s competitive reward and benefits package.
The package includes free access to a Virtual GP, life assurance, and comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
The latter offers 24/7 emotional and wellbeing support to staff and their families.
These benefits reflect Tesco’s commitment to colleague wellbeing through its “Wellbeing First” approach.
The programme focuses on supporting the body, mind and life of its team members.
‘Providing Quality Employment’
Speaking about the festive jobs, the people director at Tesco Ireland Maurice Kelly said, “We are delighted to be creating almost 1,200 additional festive roles across the country this Christmas.
“At Tesco, we know how important it is to offer meaningful and flexible job opportunities, alongside offering existing colleagues the chance to benefit from additional seasonal hours too.
“The festive season is a fantastic time to join our team, and we’re pleased to offer new colleagues an industry-leading benefits package from day one.
“This initiative highlights our continued investment in providing quality employment at a local community level across Ireland.”
Tesco is calling for interested candidates to apply online as soon as possible.
After the holiday season, temporary employees will have the opportunity to apply for available full-time positions. They can do this in existing stores or new Tesco locations planned for the coming year.
