Benefits

We know it’s your hard work that lets us share in success. That’s why after 10 and 25 years working with us, we celebrate your service with an award, bonus and meal to mark the occasion. It’s our little way of saying a big thank you!

Employees welcoming a new bundle of joy into their family will receive a baby gift full of our award-winning baby essentials before heading off on leave.

To support the needs of our customers, there may be a need to operate during less sociable hours. As a thank you for working during these times, we pay an extra £3.50 per hour for night shifts and £2.00 per hour for work during bank holidays.

As a Lidl GB team member, you’ll be offered a contributory pension scheme to support you in saving for the future. When you join the scheme, you’ll start making regular contributions to your savings, while receiving a regular contribution from us too.

Stay healthy while helping the planet. Our Cycle To Work scheme offers savings of up to 42% off bikes and cycling accessories, with the option to pay in instalments.

Our voluntary Dental Insurance scheme offers cashback towards routine and restorative dental treatment, whether NHS or private, as well as cover for emergency treatment, dental injuries or orthodontic treatments.

From day one, the Lidl Discount Hub provides all employees with exclusive access to discounts from a number of online and high street retailers.

Discussing a difficult situation can make all the difference. In partnership with a leading EAP specialist provider, our employees get free and confidential access to a 24/7 counselling and information support service.

For team members regularly using a screen as part of their job, we offer a contribution towards eye tests and glasses if they are needed for screen use.

To keep our employees feeling their best, team members can claim a free flu jab every year, paid for by us.

With our voluntary Healthcare Cash Plan scheme, employees can claim reimbursement on routine healthcare expenses like new glasses, dental treatment, physiotherapy, inpatient stays, consultations and more.  

You know how and where you work best. That’s why we operate a hybrid working model, where our Head Office and Regional Office-based team members are recommended to come into the offices at least 2 days per week.

What’s the use of working for an award-winning retailer if you can’t make the most of our award-winning products? From day one, you’ll get 10% off your shopping when you use your discount card at checkout. 

If a member of one of our teams sadly passes away whilst in service with us, their nominated beneficiary(ies) may receive a one-off, tax-free lump sum payment.

Peace of mind for the moments that matter most. We offer both a market-leading Maternity/Adoption Pay and Paternity Pay enhancement, an additional payment paid by us as a top up to the Government's statutory rates of pay.

By opting into the voluntary Private Medical benefit, our employees can complement NHS services with quick access to high quality medical care, in either private hospitals or private facilities within the NHS.

At Lidl, we want to help you achieve your goals, both personal and professional. That’s why we created our sabbatical scheme, letting you take leave of up to three months, following five years’ service, to do something you’ve always wanted.

Every one of our colleagues gets access to our Wellbeing Centre, an online platform filled with free access to bite sized videos and articles covering everything from managing finances and mental health advice to healthy eating ideas and home workouts. 

Staying fit and healthy shouldn’t come at a price. Through Wellhub, all Lidl employees can get significantly discounted rates for a host of gyms, fitness studios, virtual classes, wellness apps and 1-1 personal training across the UK.
