Lakeland has been around for more than 50 years because our products are a cut above the rest. Our colleagues are the same. Join us and be part of a team passionate about sharing the joy our products bring. If you're already a Lakeland customer, you'll understand what we mean. You'll receive support from a great team to focus on exciting our customers with our exclusive ranges. Enjoy benefits like colleague discounts—just share your love of our products with every customer!

We are looking for a Retail Colleague (our term for Retail Assistant). As a Retail Colleague, you'll do more than help customers—you'll bring theatre to the retail experience with enthusiasm. You should love our products and use them in your daily life, helping customers see their benefits through your lived-in knowledge. This role isn't for those who prefer to blend into the background; we want energetic individuals who see the store as their stage and our products as the stars. If that sounds like you, this is your big break.

Founded in the early 60s, Lakeland has maintained strong values of quality and customer care. From selling plastic bags for home freezing from a family garage in Windermere to offering over 4000 kitchen and home products today, we've grown significantly. We now dispatch thousands of parcels daily from our Kendal centre, with stores nationwide from Aberdeen to Exeter, and more opening soon.

Being part of Lakeland comes with many benefits, including a competitive salary, discretionary bonus scheme, group personal pension plan, 29 days' paid holiday (including bank holidays), and generous product discounts. Join us for a rewarding retail environment and a team that enjoys working and socialising together.
