Role Overview

As a Customer Assistant, you will keep the store moving, buzzing, and thriving. No two shifts are ever the same—one minute you're restocking shelves or efficiently processing incoming deliveries, and the next you're jumping onto the tills or keeping the shop floor pristine. You will play a hands-on part in ensuring every customer receives exceptional service, with great opportunities to develop into specialized roles like a Freshness, Non-Food, or Bakery Specialist as you grow.

Core Responsibilities:

• Customer Expertise: Act as a Lidl expert, greeting shoppers warmly and helping them with questions, queries, and requests.

• Deliveries & Merchandising: Efficiently work stock deliveries as they arrive and expertly merchandise the famous middle aisles of Non-Food products.

• Bakery & Freshness: Proactively keep the bakery topped up by baking fresh goods throughout the day.

• Store Standards: Maintain a clean, tidy, organized environment across the shop floor so customers enjoy the best possible shopping experience.

What We Are Looking For

To thrive in this fast-paced role, you should bring a positive attitude and a passion for teamwork:

• Work Experience: Previous background working in a fast-paced environment where you can keep up with changing priorities.

• Customer Focus: Outstanding communication skills and a friendly manner that inspires your team and welcomes shoppers.

• Flexibility: The availability and willingness to start shifts early or finish late across various shift patterns between 5:00 AM and 11:00 PM.

• Drive: A self-motivated approach, a smile on your face, and a true passion to make your store a success.

What You Will Receive

• Competitive Pay: £13.45 to £14.45 per hour (plus an extra £2.00 per hour for bank holidays and £3.50 per hour for night hours if worked).

• Generous Leave: 30 to 35 days of annual holiday allowance (pro rata).

• Exclusive Discounts: A 10% in-store discount across groceries and goods.
