Aldi is set to create more than 800 jobs as it plans to open a host of new stores across the UK between now and Christmas.
The German discounter is opening the new stores in towns and cities such as Oldham, Flitwick and Coventry, as well as many others up and down the country.
Starting pay for store assistants at Aldi is £11.40 per hour nationally, and £12.85 per hour inside the M25, with the supermarket also paying for breaks.
Roles available will include managerial positions, caretakers and cleaners, as well as store apprentices.
The UK’s fourth-largest supermarket, which has over 990 stores, currently employs around 40,000 people in the UK.
It comes as Aldi has been crowned the cheapest supermarket for the 13th month in a row – with the average price of a basket of groceries costing £75.25 – according to research from consumer research company Which?
