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 (Goods In) for our upcoming state-of-the-art Leeds Regional Distribution Centre (RDC), you’ll play a vital role in keeping our warehouse operations running smoothly. From counting and moving stock to making sure deliveries are processed properly, you’ll be part of a team that gets our products into our customers’ hands.

Our brand-new, state-of-the-art Warehouse in Leeds is set to open in April 2027! To ensure you are fully prepared and empowered for launch day, your journey with us will include comprehensive, paid hands-on training prior to the site opening:

  • Neighbouring Regional Training (Doncaster, Runcorn, Newton Aycliffe): You will gain initial operational experience across our neighbouring regional sites. To make your journey hassle-free, Lidl will provide a dedicated coach service to and from work each day during this training period (travel time included in working hours).

  • Luton RDC Training: You will also spend time training at Luton - Lidl’s largest RDC - to learn and master our newest, cutting-edge Warehouse Management System (EWM). 

This is a role that keeps you on your feet and thinking fast - perfect for someone who likes to be hands-on and work hard as part of a busy team. You’ll be dealing with everything from fresh fruit and veg to frozen goods, so attention to detail and high energy are key!

In return, we’ll give you a competitive salary based on equal opportunity and pay structures, as well as a generous benefits package designed to support your well-being and life outside of Lidl.

We’re proud to be supportive teams with big ambitions too, so there’ll be plenty of ways for you to progress. With the right training, we’ll help you thrive in your role and champion you to succeed in your career here.
