Tesco seeking to fill 42 temporary festive jobs in Louth

Tesco has launched a significant festive recruitment drive as it seeks to fill over 1,100 temporary roles across Ireland this Christmas, including 42 jobs for Louth, saying it offers flexible opportunities for those seeking work during the busy season.

Applications are now open through the Tesco website for those interested in applying.

As part of Tesco’s seasonal recruitment drive, the retailer says it is recruiting "helpful and friendly people" to join its stores nationwide. Shifts will be available in the early morning, daytime, and evening from November onwards, making it easier for applicants to find a role that fits their schedule.

Along with competitive terms and conditions, from day one, all people joining the Tesco team will benefit from the retailer’s broader reward and benefits package, which includes:

• Virtual GP Service: Free, confidential access to an online GP via video consultations and online prescriptions. Family members living at the same address can also avail of this service at a reduced cost.
• Complimentary food: Free food offerings in our colleague rooms at all stores. 
• Wellbeing First Support: Tesco’s Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provides 24/7 emotional support, counselling, and access to wellbeing services for colleagues and their families.

Maurice Kelly, People Director at Tesco Ireland, commented: “We’re delighted to be creating over 1,100 festive roles across the country this Christmas. These roles will support our existing colleagues to help us deliver the best possible service to customers throughout the festive season and provide new team members with access to an industry-leading benefits package from day one.

"If you’re not already part of the team and are looking for extra hours or want to give retail a try, this is a fantastic time to join our team and make a real difference in your local community.”

Positions are available nationwide, and Tesco encourages interested candidates to apply online as soon as possible. After Christmas, temporary colleagues will have the opportunity to apply for available permanent roles in existing stores or new Tesco locations planned for the coming year.
