A supermarket chain is looking for 18 new workers to join its stores in the lead-up to Christmas.

Aldi is on the hunt for new colleagues to help out during the festive season and beyond.

The roles will include helping customers, restocking shelves, and maintaining the supermarket's standards.

The positions available in Renfrewshire include deputy manager, stock assistant, store assistant, and store cleaner.

The supermarket says they have 'the highest starting pay for store assistants in the industry', at £12.40 per hour nationally.

Aldi says it is also 'the only UK supermarket to offer paid breaks'.

The recruitment drive is part of the company's plan to open 17 new stores before the end of the year, as it works towards its goal of having 1,500 stores in the UK.

Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, said: "Our mission is to make affordable, high-quality food accessible to everyone, and that is even more important at this time of year.

"Our colleagues are essential to ensuring Aldi shoppers have a great experience in-store, and we’re once again closing our stores on Boxing Day to give them a well-deserved break as a thank you for their dedication."
