About the role

Disability Network

Disability at Tesco aims to provide colleagues with the platform and a voice to make real change and show that everyone is welcome at Tesco.

Disability at Tesco was founded to help inspire and enable all colleagues with disabilities in their lives. The network aims to provide colleagues with the platform and a voice to make real change and show that everyone is welcome at Tesco. The focus is not only on supporting colleagues and developing talent, but also supporting the business to be a proud ‘disability confident’ employer.

Our Vision

Every decision we make at Tesco should consider those with a disability - whether a colleague or customer

Our Objectives

  • Colleagues: at each stage of the colleague lifecycle there should be clear support for colleagues with a disability
  • Customer: continue the changes to meet the needs of customers with a disability

How we support our colleagues and customers with hidden disabilities

As one of the UK’s largest retailers we’re committed to supporting all our customers, including around 12 million people in the UK currently living with a disability – some visible, and some hidden.

To help us make each shopping trip a little easier, the Sunflower Lanyard initiative has been rolled out to all of our UK stores – helping customers with hidden disabilities to signal that they may need some assistance, and providing colleagues with extra confidence in offering help.

We’ve signed up to the Valuable 500 commitment, a global movement helping to put disability inclusion onto the business leadership agenda. It is really important that everyone feels welcome at Tesco, whether they are shopping or working with us. It is something that has been on our business agenda for some time now and as part of the Valuable 500, we will be sharing our commitment to continue making Tesco a more accessible place for everyone.

As part of this commitment we have installed our 100th Changing Places facility to help those with complex disabilities use toilets safely and comfortably. The toilets cover a larger area and offer specialist equipment such as hoists, privacy screens and height adjustable adult-sized changing benches.

Requirements

The great news is, we're a big business with diverse shift patterns and many business areas which means that we can find something that works for you. Opportunities don’t need to be structured – part-time, job-shares, there’s no limit. It really can give you the best of both worlds – a career and family life.

Everyone’s Welcome

At Tesco, inclusion means that Everyone’s Welcome. Everyone is treated fairly and with respect; by valuing individuality and uniqueness we create a sense of belonging.

Diversity and inclusion has always been at the heart of Tesco. It is embedded in our values: we treat people how they want to be treated. We always want our colleagues to feel they can be themselves at work and we are committed to helping them be at their best.

Across the Tesco group we are building an inclusive workplace, a place to actively celebrate the cultures, personalities and preferences of our colleagues – who in turn help to build the success of our business and reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
