Tesco is cutting 325 roles across the UK - but plans to hire thousands of temp staff for the Christmas rush.
The jobs being cut are in the firm's office and regional teams, not its supermarkets.
Earlier today Tesco chief executive Ken Murphy said the supermarket wants to hire 12,500 workers over the festive period.
A Tesco spokesperson said: "Last month we announced some changes to a small number of roles in our office and regional teams, to ensure our business is as simple and efficient as possible, and so we can continue to invest for our customers.
"This means a reduction of around 325 roles. We currently have over 500 vacancies in our office and will work with colleagues to find alternative roles wherever possible."
In February Tesco said more than 1,600 roles were at risk as the supermarket chain axed overnight roles and closed its discount arm Jack's.
Tesco today released its six-month results, which showed its underlying retail operating profits fell 10%.
The firm warned that its annual profits would probably take a hit from inflation and consumers cutting back during the cost of living crisis.
Murphy added: "Customers are seeking out the quality and value of our own brand ranges as they work to make their money go further, whether they are switching from branded products, between categories or cutting back on eating out."
Tesco is giving its staff a pay rise of 20p from November 13.
It means the hourly rate in stores will be £10.30, or £10.98 in London.
The supermarket lately agreed to bring forward pay rise talks to January 2023 after negotiations with union Usdaw.
The company is also freezing prices on more than 1,000 of its products.
Price locks include:
McCains Home Chips 2.25kg: £4.30
Robinsons Orange Squash 1L: £1.75
Ski Strawberry Mouse four pack: £1.10
Nescafe Original 3-in-1 six sachets: 99p
Tilda Pure Steamed Basmati Rice 250g: 95p
Johnson's Baby Cotton Buds 200 pieces: 95p
Heinz Baked Beans Snap pots four pack: £2.49
Many Brits have been struggling to cope with rising energy bills and mounting costs at supermarket checkouts, as the impacts of the Ukraine crisis and global inflation take a toll on the nation.
Supermarkets are having to pass on some of the cost of soaring raw materials to consumers, leading to the price of basic goods throughout the UK rising at the fastest pace since September 2008.
Tesco is also doubling workers' Clubcard discounts to 20% from December 13 to 19.
Shoppers will be able to get further offers by using the retailer's exclusive Clubcard deals. These cover more than 8,000 Tesco products.
Tesco UK chief executive Jason Tarry said: “We know times are tough for many customers right now, particularly as we head into the winter months.
"We hope this extended price-lock commitment gives our customers the certainty of knowing that over a thousand household favourites will stay at the same great price for months to come – helping them budget when they need it most.”
