About the Role
At Lidl, we thrive as a collaborative, determined team. Our Customer Assistants keep stores running smoothly, serving customers, restocking shelves, maintaining tidiness, and ensuring a great shopping experience.
Every shift is unique—no two days are the same. Whether it’s handling customer queries, operating checkouts, or stocking the bakery, you’ll be valued for your proactive approach.
We offer genuine progression opportunities: with training, you could become a Freshness, Non-Food, or Bakery Specialist.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
