Customer Assistant Cockermouth, England
Job description
Summary
£11.00 up to £12.00 per hour - This isn’t stacking shelves. This is feeding families.
Would you like to join us at our store open day, where you can meet a member of our team and find out more about joining team Lidl GB, before receiving a guaranteed interview?
We’re holding a Recruitment Day on Tuesday 20th June, in our Cockermouth Store. Please apply online to register your interest.
We’re hiring now for the following positions:
- Customer Assistants (£11.00 up to £12.00 per hour)
- Shift Managers (£12.00 up to £13.00 per hour)
Our recruitment day takes place between 9am and 5pm and will include a welcome introduction to Lidl from various colleagues (Store Managers, Area Managers and Head of Sales) as well as a face-to-face interview.
As a Customer Assistant at Lidl, no shift is the same and you get out what you put in. Starting at 5am some days to set up the store bakery for the day or finishing at 11pm on others to close the store and ensure the store is ready for another day of customers, you’ll keep moving and keep business booming. Every day is different, so you won’t just be working deliveries or working on the till; you’ll be doing all of it and more. You could even train to be a freshness specialist, non-food specialist or a bakery specialist. It’s your hard graft that puts food onto dinner tables and keeps our customers coming back.
Our Customer Assistants work together as a team to ensure their store is clean, tidy and well-ordered so that customers can get the products they love and need. You’ll be part of a close-knit team who will soon become friends. Shifts include the weekends, but whether you have family commitments, are studying or have an extraordinary hobby, we make sure our rotas are available 3 weeks in advance so you can get the most out of your days off. This isn’t just a challenge, this is a challenge with great rewards – because at Lidl, you get out what you put in. If you love keeping busy and want to do a job that matters, find out more below and apply for a career a Lidl less ordinary.
Once your application has been reviewed if it matches to the requirements of the role someone from the recruitment team will get in touch to chat about your application. The process will include a telephone interview and face-to-face selection event. We look forward to receiving your application.
