In the fast-paced store environment, every day is different. The store team consists of customer assistants, a store manager, assistant store managers and shift managers.

The team makes sure that we make our customers happy: we serve cheerfully, visiting the store is quick and effortless, the products are displayed with high quality and the store is in good order. Each of our over 200 stores country-wide is supported by a regional manager, who is responsible for the operations and sales development of three to seven stores.

Learning Finnish at work

Basics of Finnish is a requirement in store work. We know Finnish is a tricky language – but we also know language skills get better the more you use the language. We assure you: your language skills do not have to be perfect. We want to encourage our employees to use Finnish at work as much as possible. Luckily, most of Lidlers and many of our customers speak also English or an other language, which can help communication.

What language should I use in my job application?

Even though you are still learning Finnish, we encourage you to write your job application in Finnish. This is a good way to get practise. We also recommend you to give us some examples in your application of situations where you have been using Finnish.
