Three regeneration partnership stores will open in Woolwich, Hednesford in Staffordshire and Trafford in Greater Manchester (UK), creating more than 990 new roles between them, along with a new Express store in the Cobalt Business Park, near Newcastle, taking the total new recruits to over 1,000.
The regeneration stores have ring-fenced nearly a third of their new jobs for local people who’ve been out of work for more than six months, helping to tackle long term unemployment in the area.
Earlier this year, Tesco committed to creating 20,000 net new jobs in the UK over this year and next. The appointment of 1,000 new colleagues builds on the retailer’s programme to boost staff numbers and improve customer service under its £1bn investment plan in UK stores.
