Job description
Summary
£60,000 up to £82,000 per annum - This isn’t day-to-day management. This is inspiring leadership.
Our huge distribution centres stock every product we sell in our stores. And they never stop. 24 hours a day, our teams receive and manage products from across our many different warehouse sections, including fruit and veg, meat and poultry, alcohol and frozen goods. Our Goods In team check every single product as it arrives from our suppliers and make sure it's stored perfectly before being shipped on to our stores.

- Coordinate stock-takes to protect our inventory, checking the results and taking action
- Keep our merchandising plan and slot labels up to date
- Support your Assistant Team Managers to recruit, train and develop their teams
- Make sure we're always on top of Health & Safety and legal regulations

- Supervisory or management experience in a warehouse environment
- A confident leadership style with an aptitude for training and developing a team
- Super organisation, a calm, analytical approach and a real eye for detail
- Self-motivation, a focus on targets and a can-do attitude
- Strong multi-tasking skills to prioritise conflicting deadlines
- An adaptable communication style to get your message across to anyone
- Must hold a full UK driving licence
What you'll receive
You'll be well rewarded as a key player in the Lidl team.
