ALDI is looking to hire 200 store colleagues in Yorkshire as its latest pay rise comes into force.

Britain’s fourth-largest supermarket, which has stores in Skipton, Barnoldswick and Silsden, is on the lookout for people of all levels of experience to fill roles, including full and part-time positions.

The recruitment push comes as Aldi increases hourly pay rates for all its staff .

From this week, the hourly rate of store assistants across the country goes up from £12 to £12.40, and from £13.55 to £13.65 for those within the M25.

It is the second pay increase this year and takes the supermarket’s investment in pay this year to £79m.

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.”
