This can be done using the regular Git+Plugin for Jenkins (version 3.1.0 onwards).

If you are using Jenkins Pipelines (i.e. with a Jenkinsfile in the root of your repo), the key thing is to include the extension [$class: 'GitLFSPull'] in your checkout() call. Here is an (edited) example taken from one of our repos:

checkout([  $class: 'GitSCM', 
    branches: [[name: 'refs/heads/'+env.BRANCH_NAME]],
        doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false,
        extensions: [
            [$class: 'GitLFSPull'],
            [$class: 'CheckoutOption', timeout: 20],
            [$class: 'CloneOption',
                    depth: 0,
                    noTags: false,
                    reference: '/other/optional/local/reference/clone',
                    shallow: false,
                    timeout: 120]
        ],
        submoduleCfg: [],
        userRemoteConfigs: [
            [credentialsId: 'foobar',
            url: 'https://github.com/foo/bar.git']
        ]
    ])

Using the Snippet Generator it is possible to generate this code, by selecting "Git LFS pull after checkout" from the "Additional Behaviours" menu. See screenshot here
