ALDI is currently looking to recruit 120 store colleagues in Somerset.

Stores in Somerset where Aldi is looking to hire include Bridgwater, Clevedon and Taunton.

This includes both full-time and part-time positions such as store management apprentice, store assistant and deputy manager.

The UK’s fourth largest supermarket is looking for people of all levels of experience to fill roles at its stores across the region which they say will be a 'welcome boost to the local economy'.

In May, Aldi announced its second pay increase for Aldi store colleagues this year, taking the supermarket’s investment in pay this year to £79m.

Starting pay for store assistants at Aldi is £12.40 per hour.

Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, said: “As we continue to open in new areas, we’re looking to welcome hundreds more colleagues to our amazing teams across the country.

“We want even more people to be a part of our success in the future, which is why we offer a great working environment and opportunities to progress within the business.”
