Aldi has revealed that it expects to create 5,500 new roles across the UK this year as it continues with its expansion programme.
The country’s fourth-largest supermarket retailer currently has more than 1,000 stores and employs over 45,000 staff.
Roles it will be recruiting for include Store Assistants, Managers and Cleaners at new stores opening this year, with it also hiring across its 11 Regional Distribution Centres and Head Office.
Giles Hurley, Chief Executive Officer at Aldi UK, said: “Our colleagues work incredibly hard and are without a doubt a huge part of our success at Aldi. We continue to welcome more and more customers to Aldi stores every week, not just because of our unbeatable prices and British sourcing, but also our amazing colleagues.
“We are looking forward to welcoming even more colleagues up and down the country to Team Aldi during 2024 as we progress towards our goal of making affordable, quality food accessible to everyone.”
Aldi recently committed to a long-term goal of opening 500 more stores in the UK, with more than £1.4bn being invested throughout 2023 and 2024 as it works towards this target.
