Everyone who works at Lidl brings something unique to the table - but we also have a whole lot in common. We’re curious, collaborative and ready to make a tangible impact on where we work.

Just like you

At Lidl, we don't just fill roles—we build careers. As a Head Office Talent Acquisition Administrator, you’ll be the engine room of our recruitment team. This is a dynamic, hybrid role where no two days are the same; you’ll split your time between finding great talent for our UK head office and providing the vital operational and administrative support that keeps our entire department running smoothly.

We believe in giving you the best of both worlds. With our hybrid working model, you’ll spend three days or more in our state-of-the-art office—where you can enjoy an on-site gym, restaurant, and great team energy—and up to two days working from home to maintain a great work/life balance.

The Recruitment Side:

• Lead the end-to-end hiring process for head office operational roles.

• Post engaging job ads, screen incoming applications, and conduct friendly, thorough telephone interviews.
