Apprenticeships

From our Head Office to the shop floor and everywhere in between our primary goal is to create and deliver a fantastic customer journey for everyone who shops at Lidl.

As an apprentice you will be working with experienced staff to learn and develop your skills as well as receiving ‘off-the-job’ training, usually 2 hours per month with a training provider, to work towards achieving a vocational qualification in Retail Skills.

Your training provider will meet with you and your Regional Talent Management Specialist to discuss your training needs and will then develop a training programme for you. They will be with you every step of the way throughout your apprenticeship to support you and make sure you are making steady progress.

The training will take place in your store and you will be paid for your time spent with the training provider.
Please note that as part of your application form you will be asked to complete some questions designed to provide us with a more in-depth understanding of you and your
reasons for applying for the apprenticeship.

Our Benefits

We are committed to looking after you not only at work, but also in your personal life. This means that when it comes to your benefits package, we mean more than just the competitive salaries we offer. We have listed some below, but you can read about all of the various benefits we offer on our benefits page under Life at Lidl.

Training and Development

We’re fully dedicated to your personal development to help you reach your potential.

Pension Scheme

All employees are invited to join the Lidl Pension Scheme after a qualifying period. This benefit is provided by the company allowing you to save for your retirement.

Annual Leave

Having time off to spend however you wish is essential for your physical and mental wellbeing. At Lidl, we provide up to 25 days annual leave each year plus 10 statutory days.

Maternity, Paternity & Adopting Leave Top Up

We provide a generous remuneration top up for maternity and adoption leave to encourage new mothers to take that time out to bond with their new arrival. Statutory leave allows fathers to take two weeks leave to enjoy the arrival of their newborn or newly adopted child. At Lidl, we offer employees a generous remuneration top up to supplement this leave.

Work Safe. Live Well Programme

Throughout the year, we promote wellness initiatives to support your safety and wellbeing at Lidl. Initiatives range from supporting your physical and mental health to ensuring your safety in the workplace.

Lidl Social

Hosting sports and social events throughout Ireland, this club presents many opportunities to meet your colleagues through sport and become part of teams competing both internally and externally. There are annual trips abroad that are a huge success and plenty of social events throughout the year.

Bike to Work Scheme

Using the Bike to Work scheme, Lidl can help you attain a brand-new bike and safety equipment worth up to €1,000 of tax relief after a qualifying period of service. You can also utilise a salary sacrifice arrangement to pay for the bike over a 6-month period so that you can save up to 51% of the retail price.

Sick Leave

From time to time we all unfortunately fall ill. In order to reduce the burden when this occurs, Lidl generously provides 20 days paid sick leave as part of our absence policy.
