Aldi is creating more than 30 job opportunities with its new store in Saxon Way West.

The discount supermarket has already recruited for the majority of its positions, but still has vacancies for roles including an assistant store manager, store assistants and an apprentice.

Sarah Strickland has been appointed as store manager for the new branch.

She joined Aldi in 2014 and received training and business management experience at various stores across the region before taking on the Saxon Way West store.

“I think the store will receive a warm welcome from the local community, as it brings fantastic quality products and great value to the local town.

“We’ve got the makings of a brilliant team in place to help run the store and deliver the excellent customer service our shoppers deserve.

“The team and I are really looking forward to welcoming shoppers through the doors in the coming weeks and months.”

Aldi Saxon Way West is recruiting for an assistant store manager and is seeking candidates with experience in management for the role.

The assistant store manager will support the store manager in reaching sales targets and leading a successful store team.

Assistant store managers can expect to work a five-day week, including weekends and Bank Holidays.

Salaries for the role begin at £31,300, rising to £38,170, after four years of service.

Hard working and enthusiastic candidates are being targeted for Aldi’s store assistant positions to carry out responsibilities such as accurate and efficient till operation, stock management and merchandising.
