Leadership career opportunities at Lidl
We’re always looking for exceptional colleagues across the UK to lead our teams.
This isn’t a regular 9-5. It never was and it never will be. With over 960 stores, 14 regional warehouses and more than 31,000 employees in the UK alone, we have opportunities managing our shop floors and warehouses, as well as a wide range of head office roles available too.
A rewarding career
Mark Robertson left the Armed Forces after 15 years and chose to join Lidl:
“People often ask me ‘What’s it like at Lidl? Is it really different from the Armed Forces?’ and the answer is that it’s extremely busy, but really rewarding,” explains Mark.
“It’s actually very similar to the Armed Forces, with structured leadership, an ever-changing environment and reward for those who really buy into the culture and drive the business forward. Lidl is looking for people who can make the difficult decisions and demonstrate moral courage. They value a strong work ethic, a can-do attitude and the desire to get the job done without compromising quality for speed.
"From the get-go, I’ve had support and guidance when I needed it, and have never felt micromanaged. I’ve been allowed to forge my own path with feedback on positive outcomes and opportunities for development, enabling me to really support my colleagues.”
Transferable skillsets
Like Mark, many Service leavers have transferable skills that would be useful for a career at Lidl. Communication, organisational and leadership skills are all important, as is a team focus and a natural affinity for problem solving.
Lidl life
In return for your hard work, we have an excellent rewards package in place, which is so much more than just a good salary. We’ve spent lots of time putting in place benefits that we feel are relevant and useful to our colleagues. Plus, as part of our wellbeing programme, we also have tools specifically developed to support with all aspects of colleague health.
