Around 20% of the 10,000 new positions created at supermarket Tesco will go to working mothers, claims its head of resourcing.

Lorna Bryson, head of resourcing, UK operations at Tesco, says: “As the largest private sector employer in the UK, we pride ourselves on being able to offer our employees the best working conditions to suit their needs, by offering both full-time and part-time roles. 

“By offering extensive part-time and flexible working options at all levels, from the board to the shop floor, we hope to make it as easy as possible for mothers to fit their work life around their personal circumstances.”
