About the Role

At Supportive Bridge Staffing Agency, we excel at connecting active, positive people with fantastic local opportunities. We are proud to partner with Lidl to find a friendly, proactive Customer Assistant for their store on Hamm Beach Road in Portland.

This part-time, 15-hour role is perfect if you are looking for a flexible position that fits around your life. On the shop floor, variety is guaranteed. One hour you’ll be unpacking fresh deliveries, the next you’ll be helping a customer find a middle-aisle gem, and later you’ll be serving shoppers at the till with a smile. If you love keeping active, working as part of a collaborative team, and want a job where you’ll never be bored, this is your bridge to a rewarding career in retail.

• Support Our Shoppers: Act as a helpful Lidl expert, answering questions and ensuring customers receive exceptional service.

• Keep the Store Stocked: Efficiently unpack and organize deliveries as they arrive in store.

• Bake Fresh Goods: Proactively help run the bakery area, keeping shelves topped up with warm, fresh baked goods.

• Organize the Middle Aisle: Present and maintain the ever-popular, fast-moving selection of middle-aisle Non-Food products.

• Pitch In as a Team: Work closely with your colleagues to keep the entire store looking clean, tidy, and organized.

What You’ll Need

• Prior experience working in a fast-paced environment is great, but a strong work ethic and positive attitude are what truly count!

• Friendly customer service skills and a warm, helpful manner.

• The flexibility to work early or late shifts.

• A positive, adaptable approach when priorities change on a busy shop floor.

• A drive to work hard, support your colleagues, and make your store a local success.
