Tesco Ireland announces 56 temporary festive jobs for Louth

In a significant boost to seasonal employment, Tesco Ireland has announced plans to create almost 1,200 temporary festive roles across its Superstores and Extra stores nationwide with 56 jobs in Louth.

Tesco says that these roles are designed to offer flexible hours, a variety of shift options, and competitive benefits from day one, making them attractive for those looking for work over the festive season.

From day one, Tesco says all employees will benefit from its "competitive reward and benefits package", which includes free access to a Virtual GP, life assurance, and a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) offering 24/7 emotional and wellbeing support to staff and their families.

Speaking about the festive Jobs, Maurice Kelly, People Director at Tesco Ireland, said: “We are delighted to be creating almost 1,200 additional festive roles across the country this Christmas with 56 roles in Louth. 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.”

The positions available span the length and breadth of Ireland, and Tesco is encouraging interested candidates to apply online as soon as possible.
