The move comes as the discount retailer ramps up its store openings programme, with 10 new stores set to open this summer.
There are vacancies opening for store assistants, store cleaners and store apprentices, as well as opportunities within management.
Aldi store assistants currently earn a starting hourly rate of £12.75, increasing to £13.66. In London, the starting rate is £14.05 per hour, rising to £14.35.
The retailer also said that it is the only supermarket in the UK to provide paid breaks – worth over £1,370 a year to the average store colleague.
Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, commented: “As we expand into new communities, we’re excited to bring even more people into the Aldi family.
“We’re proud to offer not only the best pay and benefits, but also a positive working environment and real opportunities for progression.”
Aldi is the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket, operating more than 1,050 stores and employing over 45,000 people.
New stores will open this summer in locations including Sheffield, Newcastle and Fulham Broadway, as well as Brighouse in West Yorkshire, Oldbury in West Midlands, Caterham in Surrey, Deeside in Wales, Diss in Norfolk, Hilton in Derbyshire and Market Harborough in Leicestershire.
In related news, Aldi was recently denied permission by the Supreme Court to appeal against a ruling which found that the retailer had infringed on a Thatchers Cider trade mark.
Speaking to Food Manufacture, lawyer and intellectual property expert Euan Duncan described the decision by the Supreme Court as one of the “most important brand protection decisions” in a number of years.
“By drawing a line under this case, the UK Courts have confirmed something very significant: a product does not have to cause confusion to infringe a trade mark,” Duncan said.
“If it’s been designed to tap into the identity, reputation or emotional pull of another trade mark, that alone can be enough to amount to infringement by taking unfair advantage.”
