Starting pay for store assistants at the grocer is £11.40 per hour nationally and £12.85 per hour inside the M25.
Aldi UK recruitment director, Kelly Stokes, said: “It’s never been more important to us to make affordable high-quality food accessible to all, especially at Christmas. That’s why we’re looking forward to welcoming thousands of new colleagues to our stores and regional ristribution centres over the coming months.
“Our colleagues play such a vital role in keeping our shelves stocked throughout the year, which is why we will once again be keeping our stores closed on Boxing Day as a way to say thank you for their continued hard work.”
This comes as Morrisons is also looking to recruit an additional 3,500 workers for the busy Christmas period.
