Aldi is offering employment to Ukraine refugees who have come to the UK as they seek refuge from the ongoing invasion by Russian military.

The discount retailer has over 8,000 roles available and says it will welcome applications from all Ukrainian refugees, subject to their eligibility for UK employment.

The vacancies will be available across Aldi’s entire 950 store portfolio, as well as 11 regional distribution centres serving all parts of the UK. They span a wide range of roles including assistant store manager, store assistant, stock assistant, selector and logistics assistant, as well as other office-based administration roles.
