Working at our Welwyn Garden City campus
Our leafy, green campus is just 10 minutes’ walk from the centre of Welwyn Garden City with its many shops, restaurants, pubs and sports facilities. Close to the A1, and with frequent trains running to Finsbury Park in just 20 minutes (free shuttle buses take you between the station and office), the campus is well connected to the surrounding area.
On campus you’ll find subsidised restaurants and coffee shops, as well as a Tesco Express to pick up your lunch or last-minute essentials. You can join the on-site Nuffield Health gym, which has state-of-the-art fitness equipment, two studios for group classes, plus treatment rooms.
Your experience with us
Induction
We’ll kick off your internship with a two-day induction, where you’ll learn more about our business and your programme. It’s a great opportunity for you to meet your fellow interns. We’ll then introduce you to your team, so you can get to know more about your role and the area you’ll be working in.
Store experience
You’ll spend two days out of your ten weeks working in one of our stores. The time you spend there will help you to learn how our stores operate, how they link to your role or project and help you to understand our customers, so you can serve them a little better every day.
Programme structure
You’ll gain real-life experience by completing a project, working collaboratively with other colleagues. Although you’ll be based in one area for the duration of your internship, you’ll get an insight into the breadth of opportunities at Tesco.
Where next?
Throughout your internship, you’ll be encouraged to develop skills and gain experience that will support you in your future career. You’ll also receive valuable feedback on how you’ve performed during your 10 weeks to help understand your strengths and areas to develop further.
Application deadline
We recruit on a rolling basis, which means roles will be filled on a first come first served approach, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.
