Everyone who works at Lidl brings something unique to the table - but we also have a whole lot in common. We’re hard-working, focused, and reliable. Just like you.
As a Warehouse Operative (Recycling), you’ll help keep our warehouses running smoothly, making sure recyclables are processed quickly and efficiently. From card and plastic to food waste, it’s your energy that helps us work hard and get the job done.
Our warehouses never stop running, and neither does our recycling team. You’ll roll up your sleeves, work with your colleagues, and become a pro at everything you do. This is a fast-paced role where your passion for recycling helps turn everyday tasks into real wins – reducing waste, keeping things moving, and making a difference every single day.
In return, we’ll give you a competitive salary based on equal opportunity and pay structures, plus an extra £2.00 per hour for work during bank holidays and £3.50 per hour for night shifts, as well as a generous benefits package designed to support your well-being and life outside Lidl.
