Accessibility at Tesco
If you’re wondering about the accessibility of our buildings, our recruitment processes or our careers website, look no further. Find everything you need to know, here.
Accessibility when applying for a role
We know making everyone feel welcome at Tesco takes more than just words. So, we’re committed to making sure all our candidates and colleagues have access to the support and reasonable adjustments they need to be able to thrive with us. From the moment you apply, through the recruitment process, and beyond. It’s why we’ve been named a Disability Confident Leader. And why you can be sure we’re always here to listen, and offer any help we can.
Asking for reasonable adjustments
If you have a disability, long-term health condition or neurodivergent condition, there’s plenty of support available during the recruitment process, should you need it.
On your application form, there’ll be a space to let us know about any reasonable adjustments you might need. But you can also contact us at any time to chat about how we can make the process more accessible for you. Some examples of reasonable adjustments we can make include changes to equipment, premises and furniture, altered working hours, giving or arranging training, and allowing the colleague extra time for tasks.

My Buddy, our careers website accessibility tool
While using our careers website, you can use our accessibility tool, My Buddy. It’s there to provide solutions to common accessibility needs. We’ve summarised some of the helpful things it does and how to use it, below.
How to use My Buddy
You can access My Buddy by clicking on the icon on the top left or bottom right of any page throughout the website. Once you click, a small pop-up window will appear, which can be moved around the page to a position that works for you.
From there, you can select different tools to amend the text and colour of the site, and to figure out a layout you find easiest to use.
- Text size, which makes text across the site bigger or smaller
- Letter spacing, which increases the space between letters
- Line spacing, which increases the space between lines.
- Text to speech function
- Reading guide, which gives you a visual aid to help guide your reading
- Reading focus, which reduces visual distractions
- Link highlight, which highlights any clickable links on the page
- Dyslexia font, which changes the font type on the page
- Bionic font, which bolds words in a way that assists with reading
- Blink blocking, which prevents flashing images, animations and pop-ups
- Magnifier.
- Monochrome
- Invert colours.
- Translator
- Dark mode.
