Tesco in Shepton Mallet is recruiting for a number of positions as demand surges under coronavirus restrictions.

The Shepton Mallet store has a mixture of full and part-time roles available, both permanent and temporary.

The permanent roles are for a full-time counters team manager, and for a part-time dot com personal shopper.

For the temporary positions, these are for customers assistants during the daytime and night/twilight shifts, and for customer delivery drivers.

The applications for these temporary roles are for an immediate start, and Tesco says it is trying to process them within a single day wherever possible.

Tesco says there is a high demand for online deliveries as you would expect and that side of the business is working at full capacity.

To help free up slots for the more vulnerable, such as elderly customers and those who are self-isolating, Tesco is encouraging customers who shop online or choose Click+Collect for their grocery home shopping, to prioritise shopping in-store where possible.

To help the company step up and meet demand, it is bringing in up to 20,000 new colleagues to work in its stores around the country for at least the next 12 weeks.
