The supermarket is also currently recruiting for 450 jobs across its 11 regional distribution centres.
Store assistants at Aldi receive a starting pay of £11 an hour nationally, rising to £11.90, and £12.45 rising to £12.75, within the M25.
The company also recently increased pay rates for around 7,000 warehouse staff, who now receive a minimum starting salary of £13.18 per hour.
Giles Hurley, CEO of Aldi UK, said: “Demand for Aldi has never been higher as more and more people realise they can make significant savings on every shop without compromising on quality. It’s more important than ever that we are making it even easier for more people to shop with us – including by opening dozens of new stores.
“Our success is dependent on the amazing work that colleagues do, day in and day out, and we’re looking forward to welcoming thousands more colleagues to Team Aldi throughout 2023.”
