Tesco has announced plans to take on 225 new drivers for its home grocery shopping service. The supermarket group is adding 100 new delivery vans to its service and has begun an internal and external recruitment campaign to staff the routes.
It says the roles will come on stream on a phased basis over the coming weeks. Applicants will require a full, clean category B driver's licence.
Existing Tesco staff will have the opportunity to "extend their banded contracts or diversify into these new roles", the retailer said.
The expansion of the home grocery service comes despite a wider reopening of the economy and the phased ending of pandemic restrictions.
