Step Into Jobs / Supermarkets

Entry-level supermarket jobs

Supermarket work is one of the most common first jobs in the UK, and most chains hire on availability rather than experience. This page collects entry-level vacancies from every supermarket and grocery wholesaler we cover, so you can compare chains in one place instead of visiting each careers site. There are 208 supermarket vacancies on Step Into Jobs right now.

Which chains are hiring

This page covers the major grocers and the wholesalers that supply convenience stores. Chains stagger their recruitment, so the mix here changes week to week - one retailer running a recruitment push can dominate the list for a fortnight and then disappear from it.

That is the reason to browse by type rather than by brand. If you are willing to work for whichever chain is hiring near you, you have several times the options of someone waiting on one.

What the work involves

Roles divide into shop floor and checkout, replenishment on night or early shifts, warehouse and distribution, and home delivery driving. Pay is usually hourly and set at or a little over the National Living Wage, with premiums common on nights.

Contracts are frequently part time with a stated minimum of hours. Check the contracted hours on each vacancy rather than assuming, because the same job title is offered at very different weekly hours by different chains.

How to apply

Each vacancy links to the original advertiser, where that retailer runs its own application process. We do not collect applications ourselves.

Common questions

Which supermarket is easiest to get a job at with no experience?

All the major chains hire entry-level staff without prior retail experience, so the practical answer is whichever is actively recruiting near you. Availability for evenings and weekends generally matters more to a supermarket than a CV does.

How old do you have to be to work in a supermarket?

It varies by chain and by role. Many take on staff from 16 for shop floor work, while roles involving alcohol sales, some machinery, or night shifts have higher minimum ages. The individual vacancy states its requirement.

Do supermarket jobs include weekend and evening work?

Usually, yes. Stores staff to their busiest trading hours, so entry-level contracts are commonly built around evenings, weekends and early mornings. Night replenishment shifts often pay a premium.
