Newton Aycliffe County Durham, United Kingdom Lidl Full time €25,792

Everyone at Lidl brings something different to the table — but we also have a whole lot in common. Our Degree Apprenticeship is designed to do more than just teach you the ropes. We’ll equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to build a successful career in retail. Imagine yourself running your own Lidl store in four years - that's the kind of potential we see in our apprentices.

We'll provide you with dedicated off-the-job training, delivered in partnership with Kingston University. Within four years, you’ll have developed a deep understanding of the retail industry and our operations, alongside your hard-earned Retail Leadership BSc (Hons) degree qualification.

Your salary will grow with your experience, earning from £25,792 per year as a Customer Assistant, from £29,120 as a Shift manager, from £32,000 as a Deputy Store Manager, and from £46,000 as a Store Manager-in-Training.

More detail can be found on our Retail Leadership Degree Apprenticeship home .

Year 1: You’ll hit the ground running, starting with Customer Assistant training for the first 6 months, before joining the store leadership team as a Shift Manager.

Alongside your role you’ll complete university modules in Retail Business Environment, Retail Culture & Mindset, and Digital Retail.

Year 2: You’ll build on your leadership experience as you develop your responsibilities from Shift Manager to Deputy Store Manager level.

Alongside your role, you’ll complete modules in Retail Operations, Retail Marketing Strategy, and Retail Insights & Customer Information.

Year 3: Continuing your Deputy Store Manager role, you’ll build on your experience and skill set to take even more of an active role in your store’s success.

Alongside your role, you’ll complete modules in Managing Retail Finance & Value, Responsible & Sustainable Management, and Retail Leadership & transformation.

Year 4: Here’s where you take on your official title of Store Manager-in-Training.

Alongside your role, you’ll complete a module in Building Retail Strategy, and preparing for your End Point Assessment.

Once you’ve successfully completed year four, you’ll be awarded with your Retail Leadership Degree Apprenticeship, with BSc (hons) qualification. Having proven yourself in your store, you’ll also be fully equipped to lead a store team of your own.
