A major supermarket chain is currently looking to fill 160 job vacancies in Wiltshire.

Aldi is hiring an additional 160 people in stores across the county but is particularly hoping to fill vacancies at shops in Chippenham and Malmesbury.

The roles on offer include full and part-time contracts and range from roles such as caretaker and store assistant to store manager.

Store assistants receive a starting pay of £11 per hour nationally while the salaried positions on offer rise to £63,000 a year.

Aldi is looking for people with all levels of experience.

The recruitment drive is part of a nationwide expansion project involving the opening of dozens of new stores across the UK.

Giles Hurley, chief executive officer of Aldi UK, said: “Demand for Aldi has never been higher as more and more people realise they can make significant savings on every shop without compromising on quality.

“It’s more important than ever that we are making it even easier for more people to shop with us – including by opening dozens of new stores.

“Our success is dependent on the amazing work that colleagues do, day in and day out, and we’re looking forward to welcoming thousands more colleagues to team Aldi throughout 2023.”

Aldi has been contacted for confirmation of the location of its new stores.
