Deputy Store Manager – Lidl

About the Role

💶 Salary: £38,000 – £46,000 per annum 📅 Holiday entitlement: 30-35 days (pro rata) 🛍️ Discount: 10% in-store discount 💰 Pension plan

Everyone who works at Lidl brings something unique – but we also share some key aspects. We’re resilient, confident, and trusted leaders, just like the candidate we’re looking for.

As a Deputy Store Manager, you’ll be calm, effective, and hands-on, whether on the shop floor or behind the scenes. You’ll manage cash processes, ensure stock integrity, and inspire your team—creating an environment where everyone excels.

You’ll also take accountability when the Store Manager is absent, owning the store’s operations and leading by example to support your colleagues.

In return, Lidl offers:

  • Competitive pay based on merit and equal opportunity
  • A benefits package designed to improve your well-being
  • Plenty of career progression opportunities with training and mentorship

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.
