Aldi is actively recruiting for 20 new members of store staff in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

The UK’s fourth-largest supermarket, which already operates more than 1,050 stores and employs over 45,000 people, is hiring for a wide range of positions.

This includes both full-time and part-time positions such as Store Assistant and Store Cleaner, all the way up to Deputy Manager.

Stores in the Edinburgh and the Lothians where Aldi is looking to hire include Haddington, Hermiston Gait, Cameron Toll and Musselburgh.

Aldi offers industry-leading pay, with Store Assistants earning a starting hourly rate of £12.75 nationally, increasing to £13.66, based on the length of service. In London, the starting rate is £14.05 per hour, rising to £14.35.

The supermarket remains the only one in the UK to provide paid breaks – worth over £1,370 a year to the average store colleague.

The recruitment drive supports Aldi’s ongoing store growth, with upcoming openings in locations such as Kirkintilloch and Baillieston.

Kelly Stokes, Recruitment Director at Aldi UK, said: “As we expand into new communities, we’re excited to welcome even more people into the Aldi family.

“We’re proud to offer not only the best pay and benefits, but also a positive working environment and real opportunities for progression.”
