The discount retailer said the proposal relates to the “restructure” of some teams working out of its Warwickshire headquarters.
As first reported by Grocery Gazette, those at risk of redundancy are employees currently working in finance, back office and buying roles.
However, Aldi has confirmed that no customer facing roles will be affected.
The news follows similar announcements by Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Tesco since the start of the year, which have all laid out plans to cut jobs.
“To support our continued growth and to offer the best experience to our customers, we are consulting over proposals to restructure some head office teams,” said a spokesperson for Aldi.
“No customer facing roles are affected, and no final decisions will be made until the consultation process is complete.
“We are committed to supporting our colleagues throughout this process. Wherever possible, we will seek to redeploy affected colleagues within the business.”
Earlier this month, Aldi announced plans to create 1,600 new in-store roles during 2025, including store manager, assistant store manager, deputy store manager, store assistant and cleaning positions.
It has also committed to investing £67m in upgrading its existing UK stores, in addition to pay rises for its hourly paid employees.
From 1 March, Aldi is increasing its minimum hourly rate from £12.40, or £13.65 in London, to £12.75, or £14.05 in London. Then, hourly rates will rise again from September to £12.85 or £14.16 in London.
Aldi has more than 1,000 UK stores and is now the fourth largest grocer according to Kantar.
