Working in Retail Operations & Business Support
Serving Britain’s shoppers a little better every day...that's our core purpose, and that's what we pride ourselves on here in the Customer Engagement Centres. We're on hand to sort out all manner of queries that our shoppers might have – anything from Tesco Direct products, Clubcard, Online queries or the quality of Customer Service in our stores - we have the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of what we offer our customers.
The Safety, Security and Resilience team supports the business by proactively identifying, assessing and prioritising risks. Once a risk is identified, the team supports the business by using risk models to determine the probability and impact of an incident. We then look at how we can reduce Tesco’s exposure to the risk and develop new approaches to overcome this.
Business Support provides a market-leading service for our colleagues and customers. We have six teams that that link between our stores and our office; Food Operations, General Merchandise Operations, Planning and Response, Shrink, Security and Safety, Customer Service, Operating Model. Within each team we focus on operational excellence and change innovation. Our work is all about improving the experience for customers and colleagues.
We need Administrators and Personal Assistants (PA) in every department of our business. Wherever you want to get on, you'll find a role that appeals to you. If that’s fashion, you might like to work in our clothing business. If you’re more interested in science, you could work in our Trading Law and Technical teams. And different teams need different skills, too. If coordinating international events appeals to you, you might be well suited to a job in our Group Communications or Marketing team.

Snowball – Welwyn Garden City
This building's name is inspired by 72 year-old Jane Snowball, who used a television remote to order groceries while sat in her armchair at home.
