Aldi has launched a major recruitment drive to fill 230 roles in the North East.
The supermarket is looking for staff members of all levels of experience, with some positions offering salaries of up to £63,000. The jobs include full and part-time positions, such as caretakers and store assistants, all the way up to store managers.
Aldi is hiring people to work in stores in Dunston and Felling, in Gateshead. And the retailer will also be taking on staff at a Newcastle store, which is set to open later this year.
The recruitment push forms part of Aldi’s nationwide expansion drive, with the supermarket opening a number of new stores across the UK in the next year. Aldi is also recruiting staff for 450 jobs at its 11 regional distribution centres across the country.
Giles Hurley, chief executive officer of Aldi UK, said: "Demand for Aldi has never been higher as more and more people realise they can make significant savings on every shop without compromising on quality. It’s more important than ever that we are making it even easier for more people to shop with us – including by opening dozens of new stores.
"Our success is dependent on the amazing work that colleagues do, day in and day out, and we’re looking forward to welcoming thousands more colleagues to Team Aldi throughout 2023."
Store assistants at Aldi receive a starting pay of £11 an hour nationally, rising to £11.90, and £12.45 rising to £12.75, within the M25, with the supermarket also paying for breaks. Meanwhile, Aldi recently increased pay rates for around 7,000 warehouse workers, with warehouse selectors now receiving a minimum starting salary of £13.18 per hour.
