To get on the Driver Apprenticeship at Aldi, you’ve got to be pretty good behind the wheel. (After all, you do need a full and clean UK Driving licence.) But we’re also just as interested in how driven you are. Because to really succeed, you have to grab every opportunity that comes your way. If you do, you’ll get some of the best people in the industry teaching you, and be well on your way to starting a career packed with rewarding moments.
We have great camaraderie here, and give our people (yep, even our apprentices) bags of responsibility. But if you like that, then you’ll fit right in. And if all’s gone well, you’ll have a Category C + E licence at the end of the year, and be offered a permanent role in Aldi.
If you give your absolute best, we’ll make every effort to show our appreciation. That’s why we offer a whole host of benefits.
We have one of the best salaries in the business. In fact, on the Drivers Programme from 1st February 2024, you'll start on £13.23 per hour (£396.90 per week). But remember, it's not all about the money.
28 days’ paid holiday (including bank holidays)? Not bad for a beginner. The question is, how will you spend it?
We’re also committed to looking after you. You can also join our discounted Health Cash Plan and take advantage of gym membership discounts, discounted cinema tickets, money off holidays and more!
We’re growing really quickly. So there aren’t many better places to start your career. Whichever pathway you take there will be plenty of opportunities to progress in the future. And you’ll learn from the finest retail professionals around. Are you up for the challenge?
Aldi attracts some of the finest retail professionals around. So if you want the best education in the industry, who better to learn from?
