Tesco Ireland announces creation of 31 temporary festive jobs for Westmeath

In a significant boost to seasonal employment, Tesco Ireland has announced plans to create 31 jobs in Westmeath as part of almost 1,200 temporary festive roles across its Superstores and Extra stores nationwide.

These roles are designed to offer flexible hours, a variety of shift options, and competitive benefits from day one, making them attractive for those looking for work over the festive season.

Tesco is looking for enthusiastic people in Westmeath to join its team as part of the seasonal recruitment drive, whether those looking for extra hours to suit their schedule or people seeking new opportunities.

From day one, all employees will benefit from Tesco’s reward and benefits package, which includes free access to a virtual GP, life assurance, and a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) offering 24/7 emotional and wellbeing support to staff and their families.

Tesco Ireland People Director Maurice Kelly said they were delighted to be offering these festive roles.

“At Tesco, we know how important it is to offer meaningful and flexible job opportunities, alongside offering existing colleagues the chance to benefit from additional seasonal hours too.

“The festive season is a fantastic time to join our team, and we’re pleased to offer new colleagues an industry-leading benefits package from day one. This initiative highlights our continued investment in providing quality employment at a local community level across Ireland.”

Tesco is encouraging interested candidates to apply online as soon as possible. After the holiday season, temporary employees will have the opportunity to apply for any permanent roles that have become available, either in existing stores or in new Tesco locations planned for the coming year.
