About ALDI

What it takes to be a Retail Assistant

Do you think our Retail Assistants have an easy job because they sit on the registers? Think again. Our Retail Assistants are the ultimate multi-taskers. Whether they’re racing to fill shelves or scanning through customers, our Retail Assistants can do everything and anything - so a strong work ethic and a positive attitude are an absolute must. We’re looking for self-motivated people with excellent communication skills who thrive in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment.

The rewards – What’s in it for you:

Market leading remuneration
Be part of a growing organisation
Comprehensive training
Progression opportunities
Employee referral program

We understand that the Retail Assistant role is a challenging one, so we have made sure the rewards match the hard work. We offer extensive training, the opportunity to work in a dynamic retail environment and numerous opportunities to progress within the company. With no two days the same, you definitely won’t get bored. Our in-store team is a close-knit one, so there are plenty of people to support you and to top it all off, we pay above the industry standard wage and guarantee hours.

The role challenges:

Physically demanding
Fast paced
Early morning starts
Hard work
Regimented process

As the face of ALDI, our Retail Assistants must remain friendly and polite especially when it’s the end of your shift or really busy. You’ll be on your feet for most of the day, racing from one task to another so it pays not only to be physically fit, but to really love to push yourself.  While you’re working a million miles an hour, cash handling accuracy is a must, therefore a good grasp of basic mathematics is essential. Finally, due to the nature of fluctuating shifts, our Retail Assistants also need to be flexible and available to work any five days out of the week.

What it takes to be an Assistant Store Manager

Whether it’s managing rosters or cleaning up a spill in aisle 3, our Assistant Store Managers always lead from the front. To do this, all of our Assistant Store Managers must possess strong leadership skills, a positive attitude, high work standards and the ability to tolerate stressful situations. It’s a pro-active, goal-focused position for those who aren’t afraid of hard work.

No day is the same
Comprehensive training

The role may be a challenging, but the high level of autonomy and responsibility, the ability to have a direct positive influence over your team, as well as generous remuneration makes it all worthwhile. In addition, all Assistant Store Managers undergo extensive training to equip them with the tools required to succeed and the opportunity to have your own store can arise after only 2 years.  

The role challenges:

Hands on work
High pressure
Early morning starts
Managing people
Regimented process

The Assistant Store Manager role is indeed challenging, diverse and dynamic. To deal with the unexpected issues that present themselves daily, our Assistant Store Managers must be flexible and quick on their feet. 90% of their time is spent on the shop floor and only 10% in the office, so it’s hands-on and physically demanding. This is a job for natural planners with strong leadership skills and if you’re not organised and don’t want to get your hands dirty, this is not the role for you.

What it takes to be a Warehouse Operator

Our business couldn’t operate without our quick-thinking, energetic Warehouse Operators. Working in our fast-paced Warehouse environment, our operators select products accurately, safely and efficiently for delivery to our stores. Good reading and numerical skills are a must. It’s physical work with long hours and can be tiring. But it’s also great exercise and you’ll soon find your rhythm. There’s great camaraderie and you’ll feel like everyone’s working towards the same goals- to meet deadlines and challenging targets. Shifts can start at 5am, so make sure your alarm clock works!
