Aldi announces major jobs push in run-up to Christmas
Aldi has announced plans to create around 3,000 jobs in the run-up to Christmas.
The supermarket will be recruiting for over 2,000 temporary and permanent store positions where staff will help replenish stock and provide assistance to customers.
Aldi is also looking to fill more than 850 roles across its 11 UK distribution centres which will include permanent jobs for warehouse selectors, logistics assistants and lorry drivers.
Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, said: “This year we’re recruiting more people than ever over the Christmas period to support the growing number of customers that are switching to Aldi. That includes a mix of temporary and permanent positions, as well as looking to fill both in-store roles and positions at our regional distribution centres.
“Our amazing colleagues play a 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 hard work.”
