Aldi announces new Cambridgeshire jobs as pay rise comes into force

Aldi has announced new jobs in Cambridgeshire. The supermarket giant is looking to hire 25 store colleagues in time for its latest pay rise, which comes into force this week.

Full and part-time positions, of all levels of experience, will be available across the region. The recruitment drive comes as Aldi increases hourly pay rates for all its store colleagues across the UK from this week.

The new pay increases will see the hourly rate of Store Assistants nationally rise from £12.00 to £12.40, and from £13.55 to £13.65 for those within the M25. This marks the second pay increase for Aldi store colleagues this year and takes the supermarket’s investment in pay this year to £79m.

It means Aldi continues to offer the best hourly rates in the sector. The supermarket also remains the only one to provide paid breaks, which is worth more than £900 a year for the average worker. Kelly Stokes, HR Director at Aldi UK, said: “The roll out of our latest pay increase cements our commitment to our colleagues that we will always be the best-paying retailer.

“Our colleagues play an integral part in our ever-increasing popularity, and this is another way for us to acknowledge the incredible work they do every day across the UK.”
