Aldi has announced it is looking to take on 81 new staff in Oxfordshire this year.

The roles come with salaries of up to £41,235.

This includes full-time positions such as store assistant and caretaker, all the way up to deputy manager.

Stores in Oxfordshire where Aldi is looking to hire include Oxford, Faringdon and Didcot.

The budget supermarket is launching a nationwide expansion drive, and expecting to create more than 2,000 new jobs nationwide, adding to the 7,000 permanent roles already created over the past two years.

Recruitment director Kelly Stokes said: “As we continue to grow and make Aldi accessible to even more shoppers this year, we need thousands more amazing colleagues across the country to make that possible.

It is the only supermarket to offer paid breaks, which for the average store colleague is worth £750 a year, according to the company.
