As students across Northumberland receive their exam results, Aldi is calling on young people to consider a career in retail, with more than 350 apprenticeship roles available.

Roles are available in stores across the region and form part of the supermarket's nationwide apprenticeship scheme, which offers young people the chance to earn while they learn.

Store apprentices start on £8.64 per hour in their first year, rising to £12.11 by the third year, with additional benefits including 28 days’ paid holiday, high street discounts, a bike-to-work scheme, and access to mortgage advice.

Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, said: "Not every young person will want to follow the same path after school and there are plenty of ways to build a successful career.

"Our apprentices get real experience, real pay, and the chance to build a real future from day one, and we’ve got a whole host of opportunities available for those who are ambitious, driven and ready to learn.

"We’d encourage anyone deciding on their next step this week to consider a career with us and get in touch if you’re ready for the challenge."
