Aldi opens applications for its Area Manager Programme. With an opening salary of £50,000

Aldi has just launched the application process for its latest Area Manager intake.

Aldi is now Britain’s fourth-largest supermarket and was recently named Employer of the Year by The Grocer Magazine for the second consecutive year. 

And Aldi is looking to fill 100 roles within its Area Manager programme. 

Applicants enrolled on the scheme will participate in a special, year-long training programme, equipping them with all the skills they would require to run a collection of stores successfully. 

Salaries begin from £50,000 for the opening year, with pay increasing to over £90,000 per annum by year eight.

Successful applicants will also be eligible for a number of additional benefits, including a company car and various third-party discounts, plus access to private healthcare and online wellbeing support.

Said Kelly Stokes, who is the Recruitment Director at Aldi UK: “We’re on the hunt for bright, driven and hardworking individuals to join the Aldi team as part of our Area Manager programme.

“Those joining the scheme can learn the ins and outs of the supermarket sector through in-depth training and support. And where better to learn than at the country's fastest-growing supermarket?

“At Aldi, our colleagues are at the heart of everything we do and we’re always looking for even more amazing people from all backgrounds to join our team.”

Calling all Wilko staff! Aldi wants to have a word with you about a job

The Aldi supermarket chain has issued a call to all Wilko staff impacted by the collapse of their former employer to get in touch with Aldi as there are over 6,000 jobs currently available across its UK stores.

Britain’s fourth-largest supermarket, which recently announced the creation of 800 jobs in new stores over the next coming months, has revealed that it is also recruiting for a large volume of other store roles across the UK to support its continued expansion.

Aldi hopes to offer these long-term retail roles to people who are losing their jobs as a result of the Wilko downturn, or other store staff cutbacks, with a range of Aldi positions available from Store Assistants and Caretakers all the way to Store Managers.

Kelly Stokes, Aldi's Recruitment Director said: “We continue to welcome more and more customers to Aldi stores on a weekly basis, so we're working very hard to meet the huge demand for our unbeatable value prices.

“This means we need to find thousands of new Aldi colleagues to support this growth, which will hopefully be of interest to those who have recently lost out due to closures elsewhere, such as at Wilko."

Aldi colleagues are the best-paid in the UK supermarket sector. Store Assistants receive starting pay of £11.40 per hour, whilst those based in London receive £12.85 per hour. And Aldi is the only supermarket to pay for breaks which can be worth up to £972 a year.
