Everyone who works at Lidl brings something unique to the table - but we also have a whole lot in common. We’re resilient, confident and trusted leaders. Just like you.

As a Deputy Store Manager at Lidl, you’ll be cool, calm and collected, getting stuck in on the shop floor and behind the scenes. From managing cash processes and monitoring stock integrity to inspiring your colleagues, you’ll play a huge part in creating a place where you and your whole team can do your best work. You’ll also enjoy great responsibility while the Store Manager is absent, taking ownership of the store and leading by example to support your colleagues.

In return, we’ll give you a competitive salary based on equal opportunity and pay structures, as well as a generous benefits package designed to support your well-being and life outside of Lidl.

We’re proud to be supportive teams with big ambitions too, so there’ll be plenty of ways for you to progress. With the right training, we’ll help you thrive in your role and champion you to succeed in your career here.

What you'll do

• Set a spectacular example for the Store Team and your customers
• Independently manage the store in the absence of the Store Manager
• Lead and inspire the team to fulfil their potential every day using our Leadership & Company Principles
• Diligently check and work deliveries, manage the till area and monitor KPIs
• Be a friendly face for every customer, offering excellent service and helping with all customer queries
• Comply with Health and Safety laws, standards and guidelines

What you'll need

• Experience leading and developing a team in a challenging, fast-paced environment
• Excellent communication skills to help your colleagues and customers in a friendly and open way
• Knack for time management, delegation and problem-solving
• Confidence to support your team through every shift
• Pride in providing unmatched customer service for everyone who shops with us
• Ability to monitor, manage and improve KPIs

What you'll receive

• 30-35 days holiday (pro rata)
• 10% in-store discount
• Pension scheme
• Ongoing training
• Enhanced family leave
• Plus, more of the perks you deserve

We value diversity, equity, and inclusion, welcoming applicants from all backgrounds. Join us to celebrate individuality and grow in a fair, respectful, and inclusive environment.
