German supermarket chain Aldi has announced its recruitment plans for temporary staff over the busy Christmas period this year.
The grocery retailer has said it needs 4,500 staff to help out during the weeks surrounding Christmas and New Year.
There will be around 3,000 Christmas jobs at Aldi stores along with a further 1,500 temporary logistics vacancies and warehouse roles at various locations nationwide.
Starting wages for temp jobs at Aldi this winter will be at least £11.40 per hour but can be up to £12.85 per hour within the M25 area.
Launching the recruitment drive for seasonal festive workers this year, Aldi UK’s Human Resources 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 distribution 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,” added Ms Stokes.
