The UK’s fourth largest supermarket is on the lookout for people of all levels of experience to fill roles across the region
The recruitment push is part of a nationwide expansion drive, with Aldi pledging to create a total of more than 5,500 new jobs across the UK in 2024. This includes 251 ‘colleagues ‘ in Edinburgh & Lothians, as the company opens new stores and updates others in the region.
Roles will include full and part-time positions such as Store Assistant and Deputy Store Manager. Store and Warehouse Assistants at Aldi receive a starting salary of £12.00 rising to £12.95 nationally.
Aldi currently has 105 stores in Scotland and employs more than 3,500 people. The supermarket chain opened its first Scottish store in Kilmarnock in 1994 and will celebrate 30 years in Scotland this year.
Giles Hurley, Chief Executive Officer of Aldi UK, said: “Our colleagues work incredibly hard, and they 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 local 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 and this is another step in accelerating progress towards our goal of making affordable, quality food accessible to everyone.”
Aldi recently committed to opening 500 more stores across Britain and is investing more than £1.4 billion throughout 2023 and 2024 as it progresses towards hitting this long-term target. This investment includes work to expand its distribution and store network as well as further improving existing stores and technology infrastructure to support growth.
