ALDI has announced that it is looking to hire 310 store colleagues in Cheshire between now and the end of the year.

The supermarket currently has openings in its Chester and Ellesmere Port stores, as well as stores in Crewe, Warrington and Runcorn.

This includes both full-time and part-time positions such as Store Assistant and Caretaker roles, all the way up to Store Manager, with salaries of up to £48,490.

The recruitment push forms part of Aldi’s nationwide expansion drive, with the supermarket on track to create 2,000 permanent new roles across the UK this year.

Kelly Stokes, Recruitment Director at Aldi UK, said: "As we continue to grow and make Aldi accessible to even more shoppers, we need more amazing colleagues across the country to help make that possible.

"As well as healthcare and lifestyle perks, working at Aldi means a great working environment and real opportunities to progress within the business. We look forward to welcoming even more great people in Cheshire to become a part of our success."

Last month, Aldi announced a second pay increase this year for its store colleagues, maintaining its position as the UK’s best-paying supermarket.

From September, store colleagues at Aldi will earn an industry-leading minimum hourly rate of £10.50 nationally, and £11.95 inside the M25, with paid breaks included.
