Aldi announces massive job push in time for festive season

An Aldi Colleague

Aldi is proud to announce it will create some 3,000 new jobs ahead of the festive period as it gears up for what looks to be its biggest Christmas ever.

The supermarket is aiming to fill over 2,000 temporary and permanent store roles to help replenish stock and provide additional assistance to shoppers visiting Aldi’s stores during this very busy Christmas period.

In addition, Aldi is currently recruiting for over 850 roles across its 11 Regional Distribution Centres UK-wide for a number of permanent roles, including Warehouse Selectors, Logistics Assistants and Lorry Drivers. 

Kelly Stokes, Aldi UKs Recruitment Director said: “This year we’re recruiting more people than ever over the Christmas period to support the growing number of customers we find are switching to Aldi. This includes a mix of temporary and permanent positions, besides looking to fill both in-store roles and positions at our Regional Distribution Centres.

“Our amazing colleagues play a really vital role in keeping our shelves stocked year-round which is why, once again, we’ll also be keeping our stores closed on Boxing Day as a thank you for all of their really hard work.”

Store Assistants at Aldi earn a minimum hourly rate of up to £10.50 nationally and £11.95 inside the M25 area.  

Aldi also remains the only supermarket in the UK to offer paid breaks, which for the average store colleague is now worth more than £830 a year.
