What's in it for you

Our Pharmacy department is one of the most exciting areas of our business. We are always looking to develop new ways to deliver the best service possible for our customers.

Tesco Pharmacy offers a high level of working flexibility and control over your work rotas. This enables our managers to enjoy routine overlap periods with other Pharmacists on duty, so ideas about patient care and colleague development can be worked on together.  

Colleague welfare is very important at Tesco, and to take your health and well-being seriously our stores ensure that Pharmacists always get uninterrupted breaks away from the Pharmacy, to help you relax, refuel and recharge on or off site.

To ensure correct staffing levels and flexibility our Pharmacy teams are supported by trained multi-skilled colleagues from across the store, available to support the Pharmacy when required, to maintain safe staffing.

Above all this, working for the UK's largest retailer gives you the opportunity to develop into roles anywhere in the UK and, for those interested, into fields beyond pharmacy.

It's very much about supporting our communities, by making the best healthcare choices available and convenient for local people.
