What jobs does Consum offer?
Consum does not only hire staff for its supermarkets. Its careers website mainly lists vacancies in three broad areas: stores, logistics centres and offices.
Working in Consum supermarkets
A large proportion of job opportunities are in stores. The roles listed by Consum on its careers website include:
- Checkout and shelf replenishment assistant.
- Fresh food specialists, such as fishmongers, butchers, and fruit and vegetable assistants.
- Sales assistant in the perfumery department.
- Online shop order picker.
- Operations manager.
- Store manager.
The specific role will depend on the needs of each supermarket and the vacancies published at the time.
Working at Consum’s logistics centres
Consum also needs professionals to supply its retail network. Roles at its logistics centres include:
- Order picker.
- Machine operator or forklift operator.
- Order preparation manager.
- Goods reception manager.
- Stock control technician.
- Electromechanical technician.
Requirements for these roles may differ from those for store roles, and some technical positions may require specific training or experience.
Working at Consum’s offices
There are also professional opportunities in corporate departments. Consum has teams working in areas such as:
- People and wellbeing.
- Marketing and member-customer relations.
- Development and expansion.
- External relations and legal affairs.
- Purchasing.
- Logistics.
- Store management.
- Finance and information technology.
- Administration.
- Quality and customer service.
The main offices are in Valencia, with additional teams in Barcelona and Murcia.
Requirements for working at Consum
Requirements depend on the role. A supermarket sales assistant will not need the same qualifications as a professional in IT, administration, logistics or maintenance.
For the operational staff recruitment announced by Consum in 2026, the cooperative listed the following general requirements:
- Have the Spanish compulsory secondary education qualification (ESO).
- A customer-focused approach.
- A willingness to learn.
- The ability and attitude to work as part of a team.
- Live near the location of the vacancy.
Consum also stated that no previous work experience was required for those appointments, as the cooperative provided training to new employees.
This does not mean that all vacancies have the same requirements. Always check the specific conditions listed in the job advert before applying.
Can you work at Consum with no experience?
Yes, there are roles for which Consum does not require previous work experience. The cooperative has explicitly stated this for certain operational staff recruitment campaigns.
For these types of roles, a customer-focused approach, availability, willingness to learn and the ability to work as part of a team may be more important.
Specialist or senior roles may require qualifications, technical knowledge or previous experience.
How much does Consum pay?
It is important not to use outdated figures as a guide, as salaries have changed over time.
In its recruitment campaign in 2026, Consum reported an starting rate of more than 1.400 gross per month for operational staff, with the possibility of earning more depending on the role.
The cooperative also stated that, when an employee becomes a worker-member, this starting rate rises to more than 1.600 gross per month.
In addition, Consum set the 2026 minimum starting salary for worker-members at the cooperative at €19.318 gross per year.
These figures were made public by Consum and do not mean that all roles have the same salary. Actual pay may vary according to job grade, working hours, level of responsibility, additional payments and the terms of each vacancy.
What are working conditions like at Consum?
Consum operates as a cooperative, and a significant proportion of its employees eventually become worker-members.
According to the latest published corporate data, in 2025 the cooperative had more than 23.000 employees. Consum says that approximately 96 % of its workforce has stable employment through a worker-member or permanent contract and that around 80 % work full-time.
The employment measures highlighted by the company itself include:
- A five-day working week in supermarkets.
- Five weeks of annual leave.
- Measures to help employees work close to home.
- Vocational training during working hours.
- Internal promotion and development programmes.
- More than 75 work-life balance measures.
- Worker-members' participation in the cooperative's results.
Consum also says that it fills almost all possible promotion opportunities with people who already work within the cooperative.
Job vacancies at Consum in 2026
Vacancies change constantly, so it is not advisable to keep a static list of openings on this page.
As an indication of its recruitment activity, on 31 March 2026, Consum announced plans to recruit 3.800 people for the summer campaign and holiday cover.
The announced allocation was:
- Valencian Community: 2.503 roles.

How to improve your chances of getting a job at Consum
There is no formula that guarantees success in a recruitment process, but you can avoid some common mistakes.
- Tailor your CV to the role. Put the experience and skills most relevant to the vacancy first.
- Avoid using an overly generic CV. A checkout and shelf replenishment role calls for different skills to a logistics or administrative position.
- Check the location. Consum has explicitly mentioned proximity to the workplace as a criterion in recruitment processes.
- Highlight your customer service and teamwork skills if you are applying for a supermarket role.
- Keep your profile up to date on the careers website.
- Check for new vacancies regularly rather than applying for just one role.
It may also help to prepare a brief cover letter if the application process allows you to provide additional information.
What is Consum's recruitment process like?
There is no single public process that is identical for every role. Recruitment may vary according to the vacancy, location and level of responsibility.
The first step is to register your application correctly on the official portal. If your profile matches a recruitment need, Consum may contact you to continue with the relevant process.
Before a possible interview, it is worth finding out about the cooperative and the role's responsibilities, and preparing specific examples related to customer service, reliability, teamwork or problem-solving.
Is it better to hand in your CV at a Consum store?
Consum's current customer service information directs people interested in working for the cooperative to its online careers portal.
So, although you can ask at a store about job opportunities, you should prioritise registering your application online, as this ensures your profile is added to the recruitment system.
