Building work is underway at the new Lidl store in Colchester and the brand is recruiting ready for the opening. 

Work has begun to furnish the inside of the long-awaited supermarket at Colchester’s former Homebase site back in May.

The final works at the store are expected to take six months with a view to opening this winter.

Up to 40 jobs are expected to be created. 

Lidl has now started to advertise jobs for the new site. 

It is offering both full time and part time customer assistant jobs with both offering a salary of £9.50 up to £10.70 per hour. 

The part time roles are for 11 to 20 hours and the full time roles for 30 to 40 hours. 

Staff will also get 30 days holiday pro rata.

The jobs advert says: "As a customer sssistant at Lidl, no shift is the same and you get out what you put in.

"Starting at 5am some days to set up the store bakery for the day or finishing at 11pm on others to close the store and ensure the store is ready for another day of customers, you’ll keep moving and keep business booming.

"Every day is different, so you won’t just be working deliveries or working on the till; you’ll be doing all of it and more. You could even train to be a freshness specialist, non-food specialist or a bakery specialist. It’s your hard graft that puts food onto dinner tables and keeps our customers coming back.

"Our customer assistants work together as a team to ensure their store is clean, tidy and well-ordered so that customers can get the products they love and need.

"Shifts include the weekends, but whether you have family commitments, are studying or have an extraordinary hobby, we make sure our rotas are available 3 weeks in advance so you can get the most out of your days off."

The role involves unpacking stock, running the tills, answering queries and stacking shelves. 

Both adverts run until August 20.
