You’ll be able to lead and motivate your teams because you’ll learn exactly what it takes to do each of their roles – your training will mean working as a Customer Assistant and in Store Management. Then you’ll take on an area of stores and be responsible for taking the business strategy and making it work in your stores, ensuring they hit their targets and that the teams continue to grow and develop.

  • A confident, decisive communication style and the ability to motivate your team
  • The willingness to learn, be hands-on and take the lead on strategy and planning

What you'll receive

This isn't getting by. This is getting what you deserve. We’re proud to have a culture and salary structure that promotes both the equality of opportunity, and pay.

Working at Lidl is rewarding, in every sense, because we give you the training to succeed in your role and plenty of opportunities to progress your career here. We're delighted to offer a competitive salary with 35 days’ holiday per year (pro rata) and a fully expensed company car.
