About Us

At Aldi, we’re fairly sure our business would crumble to dust without the relentless support of our professional Admin teams. We call them Admin teams but they are actually the financial hub of our business, which is why there’s a dedicated team at Head Office and within every Regional Head Office. Which one would suit you the best?

Regional Administration - About Us

Every Aldi Region (and there are 11 across the UK and Ireland) has its own dedicated team of Administrators. They support every area of the business, from Accounts & Payroll, Finance and Property to Logistics, Trading and Store Operations.

Join any one of these teams and you’ll experience a fast-paced, professional, hard-working culture (well, this is Aldi after all). Many of the people you’ll find in these teams have been working here for years. They say it’s because of the variety, the fact they’ve seen a lot of change, and everything always feels quite fresh. True, but we also think it’s because we employ people who never give up: they’ve got plenty of stamina and are committed to what they do.

There’s also a very strong culture of efficiency, and working past your normal hours (8am – 4.30pm) doesn’t tend to happen, unless there’s a real business need (we did say we were committed). It’s also a very happy place to work too. Many of our colleagues say it feels like a family and that there’s plenty of support, all the way up to Director level.

Regional Administration Assistant - Trading

You’ll be ordering all the stock into the warehouse that will eventually be taken to our stores. Quite tricky when you need to factor in things like customer behaviour or our unpredictable weather. Trading Assistants will be ordering specific categories (in response to information from Corporate Buying) and then entering orders that are automatically emailed to suppliers.

There’s plenty of liaison with suppliers, hauliers and the warehouse about delivery issues, and you’ll need to communicate with stores on a daily basis (via a store bulletin). Importantly, you’ll recommend volumes for new product orders, look at how well products are performing and feed back to Corporate Buying. You’ll also respond to any RFS (removal from sale) or EPW (emergency product withdrawal) issues. We don’t look for specific experience, but you’ll certainly need to know your way around an Excel spreadsheet.

Benefits

  • £27,830- £31,040 rising in increments to £35,150 - £38,065 in year 5 (regional differences may apply)
  • 5-day/40-hour week
  • 5 weeks’ annual leave plus Bank Holidays
  • Full training provided
  • Company pension after 4 years
  • Private employee medical insurance after 4 years
  • Company sick pay scheme
  • Company maternity, paternity and adoption leave after 2 years
  • Long service awards

Benefits

We’re good at lots of things at Aldi, but we’re particularly good at looking after our people. Yes, you’ll need to work hard and we expect you to be committed (you know, turning up on time, working hard, that sort of thing) but we’ll make every effort to show our appreciation. That’s why we offer the following benefits:

Market-leading package

Yes, the rumours are true: we pay incredibly well. But in return, we’ll ask a lot of you. That’s why we want you to feel looked after.

Nice working environment

Fresh. Energised. Attractive. Those are just some of the terms you could use to describe where you’ll work. It’s the kind of place where you can do great things. A place where your ideas will be heard and you’ll have the freedom to put them into action.

Excellent work-life balance

We always make sure our people have a great work-life balance. Plenty of time off, fantastic benefits and some decent salaries to holiday in style.

Great opportunities to develop

At Aldi we’ll value you for what you can do, rather than where you’ve come from. So we’ll accept, recognise and often implement your ideas and recognise your contribution.

Did you know… a third of the team have been here more than a decade so we’re more than colleagues. We take time to celebrate the things that matter... weddings, babies, birthdays, Fridays… any excuse for cake.

We're delighted that you’d like to apply. It’s pretty competitive so make sure you’ve done your homework and that you’re primed and ready to demonstrate your skills.

Aldi is one of the most reputable retailers in the global business market today. Our goal has always been very simple: to provide great value and quality, using leaner and smarter business processes.
