Aldi, the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket, is looking to recruit over 500 new apprentices across the UK in 2024.
Applications are now open for the supermarket’s apprenticeship scheme, with opportunities across stores, buying, logistics and HGV driver roles.
Aldi recently announced new pay rates for all store and warehouse colleagues, with pay for some apprenticeship roles rising by up to 37 percent.
At Aldi, a Store Apprentice can earn £8.44 per hour in year one, rising to £11.83 per hour in year three, with paid breaks. Meanwhile, those in logistics and driver roles can earn £10.96 and £14.13 per hour, respectively.
Successful applicants will have the chance to gain industry-recognised qualifications. At the same time, they earn and will also be eligible for a number of additional benefits, including a range of shopping discounts, a bike-to-work scheme and a new mortgage advice option where colleagues can seek free mortgage advice and access mortgage education.
The apprenticeship push forms part of Aldi’s nationwide expansion drive, with the supermarket creating 6,000 new roles across the UK last year.
Lisa Murphy, Learning and Development Director at Aldi UK said that the supermarket is looking for hardworking and driven individuals to bolster the Aldi team.
“By joining our apprenticeship scheme, individuals will become experts in their role and receive in-depth skills training at one of the fastest-growing retailers in the country,” said Murphy.
“The apprentices of today are the leaders of tomorrow, so we’re always on the hunt for more amazing individuals from all backgrounds to join our team.”
