More than 2,000 jobs are at risk at Tesco after the supermarket said it is to close all remaining food counters and in-store delis and overhaul its in-store management structure.
The move will include reducing the number of team and lead team managers in larger stores which will impact 1,750 staff.
The supermarket has also announced that it will be making a number of localised changes, including the closure of eight pharmacies and the introduction of reduced hours at some in-store post offices. This will affect around 350 workers.
Tesco said early last year that it would be shutting 317 of its deli and hot food counters to help make its business fit for the future. It has now confirmed that the remainder will close by 26 February. However, it will also be introducing 1,800 new shift leader roles in its stores.
Tesco has said affected staff will be found alternative positions
