Supermarket chain announces festive jobs for Donegal

TWENTY-two jobs are to be created in Donegal this festive season by a supermarket chain.

In a significant boost to seasonal employment, Tesco Ireland has announced plans to create almost 1,200 temporary festive roles across its Superstores and Extra stores nationwide, with 22 jobs in Donegal.

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.

As part of its seasonal recruitment drive, Tesco is looking for enthusiastic people in Donegal to join its team and deliver exceptional service to customers.

Whether you’re looking for extra hours to suit your schedule or seeking new opportunities, these roles offer a chance to contribute to a dynamic and supportive team.

From day one, all employees will benefit from Tesco’s competitive 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.

These benefits reflect Tesco’s commitment to colleague wellbeing through its ‘Well-being First’ approach, focusing on supporting the body, mind, and life of its team members.

Maurice Kelly, people director at Tesco Ireland, said: “We are delighted to be creating almost 1,200 additional festive roles across the country this Christmas with 22 roles in Donegal. 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.”

The positions available span the length and breadth of Ireland, and Tesco is encouraging interested candidates to apply online as soon as possible.
