Deputy Store Manager

Deputy Store Manager

Position: £38,000 - £46,000 per annum | 30-35 days’ holiday (pro rata) | 10% in-store discount | Pension scheme

About the Role: Everyone at Lidl brings something unique—but we also share the same qualities: resilience, confidence, and the ability to be trusted leaders. As a Deputy Store Manager, you’ll thrive in this fast-paced environment, blending hands-on shop-floor expertise with strategic leadership. Whether managing cash operations, ensuring stock integrity, or driving team morale, you’ll be central to creating an inspiring working environment while stepping up as a leader when the Store Manager is absent. Your passion for driving results and leading by example will empower your team to succeed, and in return, we’ll back you with competitive pay, a supportive culture, and plenty of opportunities to progress.

Responsibilities:

  • Set a spectacular example for the Store Team and our customers
  • Independently manage the store during the absence of the Store Manager
  • Motivate and support your team, aligning with Lidl’s Company Values
  • Check and manage deliveries, oversee till operations, and closely monitor KPIs
  • Be the friendly face of Lidl, delivering excellent customer service and resolving queries
  • Ensure full compliance with Health and Safety laws, standards, and guidelines

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.
