Aldi is hiring for 30 new store colleagues in Northumberland as part of its Christmas recruitment drive.

The roles are based in Northumberland and will support the supermarket’s Christmas operations and ongoing expansion plans.

Aldi is hiring for a mix of permanent positions, including store assistants, managers and cleaners.

Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, said: "At Aldi, our goal is to make high-quality, affordable food accessible to everyone – and at Christmas, demand for that always increases.

"That’s why we’re bringing more colleagues into our stores, ensuring we continue to deliver the very best experience for our shoppers.

"Our people are at the heart of our success, and once again we’ll be closing all our stores on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

"It’s important to us that our colleagues have the chance to enjoy a well-deserved break and spend valuable time with their loved ones."

The recruitment push is part of Aldi’s wider growth strategy, with their current aim to open a new store every week before the end of the year.

Aldi says it remains the highest-paying supermarket in the UK, offering store assistants a starting wage of £13.02 per hour nationally and paid breaks.
