Aldi has announced it is looking to hire 97 store colleagues in Shropshire between now and the end of the year.

In a welcome boost to the local economy, the UK’s fifth-largest supermarket is looking for people of all levels of experience to fill roles at its stores across the region.

This includes both full-time and part-time positions such as store assistant and caretaker, all the way up to assistant store manager with salaries of up to £33,815.

Stores in Shropshire where Aldi is looking to hire include Bridgnorth, Ludlow, and Shrewsbury.

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.

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.
