ALDI on recruitment drive to fill 24 Mayo vacancies

ALDI has initiated a recruitment drive to fill 450 vacancies across its 153 store network in Ireland, including 24 vacancies in Mayo.

The company is recruiting for store assistants, including 14 permanent positions and 10 fixed term contract positions in its Mayo stores.

Recruitment has begun and ALDI is keen to fill all positions as soon as possible as the company continues to open new stores and sees an increase in customer demand across its store network, while the retailer prepares for the busy Christmas period.

An increase in store openings in Mayo, along with an increase in customer numbers and existing vacancies is driving the demand for new recruits in Mayo. The new recruits will join the 118 strong team in Mayo currently and the 4,650 ALDI team in Ireland and will benefit from a competitive package including market leading rates of pay and career progression opportunities.

The company created 1,050 jobs at the beginning of 2020 and added 600 new jobs to that in 2021, supporting the additional four new stores opened last year.

ALDI has made a capital investment of €33.3 million in Co. Mayo since first opening in Claremorris in 2007. In February 2022, ALDI increased its hourly pay rates for store colleagues, maintaining its position as Ireland’s best paying supermarket. ALDI pays all store assistants up to €14.90 an hour, with a market leading entry rate of €12.90 an hour.

The recruitment drive comes following a number of significant investment announcements by ALDI in recent weeks including the €63 million investment in the west of Ireland and the creation of 140 jobs, an €8.5 million supplier contract announcement with Broderick’s and Cookie Dó and the ongoing expansion of its store network with the opening of its Ballina and Tuam stores, representing a €10 million and €12 million investment respectively.
