The Co-op supermarket is planning to create 5,000 jobs in a bid to provide temporary employment for workers who will lose their jobs throughout the the coronavirus crisis.
As well as the new temporary positions, permanent roles will be on offer throughout the Co-op’s 2,600 stores across the UK.
We’re committed to supporting communities during this difficult time. To help feed the nation we’re urgently recruiting permanent and temporary colleagues at our food stores.
Temp – apply in store.
Permanent – apply online.

Chief executive of Co-op Food, Jo Whitfield said: ‘The Co-op has a critical role to play in supporting our members, customers and colleagues, as well as the local communities that our stores sit at the heart of.
‘Whilst our store and depot colleagues are working around the clock to ensure people have the essentials they need, we are all too aware that many people working in bars, pubs and restaurants are currently out of work.
‘It makes perfect sense for us to try and temporarily absorb part of this highly skilled and talented workforce who are so adept at delivering great customer service, as we work together to feed the nation.
