How to apply for job at new Burton Latimer Lidl as recruitment for 40 roles begins
Applications are open to join the team at the new Lidl store in Burton Latimer in Cranford Road.
Up to 40 roles are available at the store with a variety of part-time and full-time positions.
New starters at the Cranford Road store will benefit from entry-level hourly rates of £13.45 per hour.
Due to open its doors to the local community before Christmas, the discounter is searching for candidates to apply via the Lidl GB careers website.
Andrew Hodgkinson, regional head of property at Lidl GB, said: “The countdown is now officially on to the opening of our new store in Burton Latimer and we’re on the lookout for the right team to lead it.
"Our colleagues are the backbone of our success, which is why we offer competitive entry-level pay alongside a market-leading benefits package. We’re very excited to welcome new faces to Team Lidl and I’d encourage anyone looking for a career in retail to apply now.”
Lidl GB offers a ‘competitive benefits package’ including a 10 per cent in-store discount from the first day and free access to services to support physical and mental well-being.
Building on its existing credentials as the first supermarket to introduce 28 weeks full pay for colleagues on maternity or adoption leave, Lidl also recently doubled its paternity leave and after five years of service, colleagues are entitled to eight weeks’ full pay.
The discounter also recognises long serving colleagues, awarding bonuses to those who celebrate their 10, 25 and 40-year anniversaries with Lidl.
Since arriving in Great Britain in 1994, Lidl GB is now the UK’s fifth largest supermarket with over 35,000 employees, across more than 1,010 stores and 13 distribution centres spanning England, Scotland and Wales.
Lidl GB recently announced a new recruitment initiative ringfencing 10 per cent of interviews for those who have been out of work for at least six months, fast tracking candidates to the interview stage to level the playing field.
