Aldi recruiting 1,700 warehouse workers by end of year with wages up to £53,000

Aldi has announced it is recruiting 1,700 staff members to work in its warehouse by the end of the year, and wages are up to £53,000.

The budget supermarket chain is planning to hire the warehouse staff members in a huge recruitment drive in time for Christmas.

The retail giant said both full-time and part-time positions are available at its regional distribution centres, with salaries of up to £53,000 a year.

The company said the move comes as part of their expansion plans and they are hoping to open an average of one new store a week from now until Christmas.

Aldi – the UK’s fourth largest supermarket – has approximately 990 stores and currently employs around 40,000 people.

Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, said: “As we continue to grow and attract new shoppers, we need even more amazing colleagues at our distribution sites to make everything possible.

“As well as healthcare and lifestyle perks, being a part of the Aldi team means a great working environment. With it being an exciting time for the business, there are also real opportunities to progress.”

Aldi’s distribution centre for Greater Manchester is based in Bolton. Most distribution centre staff roles are warehouse selectors, who receive a minimum hourly rate of £13.18.

Roles available include managerial positions, caretakers and cleaners, as well as store apprentices.
