FAQs

The recruitment process is typically an application followed by a telephone interview (including an eligibility to work check / shift availability check), in-person interview (competency based) including a warehouse tour, an offer/feedback call and finally a welcome event on your first day.If you are successful at interview but all of our vacancies are filled, we might ask you to join our ‘Lidl Candidate Community’. If you accept, we’ll then contact you as soon as a relevant vacancy is live in your area.

On your first day as part of our Lidl GB Warehouse team, you’ll receive your uniform allocation consisting of a softshell jacket, branded polo shirts or blouses, hi-visibility clothing and steel toe cap boots, as well as PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) if required. The number of items you’ll be given depends on your position and your contracted hours. You should provide your own trousers/shorts or jeans.
