The supermarket giant has announced changes to the way it runs its Express branches, with 1,700 deputy managers to be replaced with 3,300 new ‘shift leader’ roles.
A spokesperson for Tesco said the new structure is ‘part of a wider programme of transformation to meet customer needs in a rapidly changing retail sector’.

Tesco currently operates over 1,800 Express stores across the UK, many of which are in Shoreham.
Tracey Clements, managing director of convenience at Tesco said: “To help improve our service to customers in our Express stores we are aiming to have more of our colleagues on the shop floor, more often.
“To help achieve this we are creating more than 3,300 Shift Leader roles which, in turn, means we will no longer have Deputy Managers.

The company says the changes will result in a net increase of around 1,500 roles.
