Aldi, Morrisons, and M&S are all looking for thousands of temporary staff this Christmas

Aldi, Morrisons, and M&S are among the many retailers that are looking for thousands of temporary staff to help out over Christmas.

With the festive season fast approaching, and most British stores having already unveiled their Christmas ranges for 2024, three of the country’s biggest supermarkets are gearing up for what is always one of the busiest times for the retail industry by launching massive UK-wide seasonal recruitment drives.

The three major retailers, Aldi, Morrisons, and M&S, are on the look out for an army of temporary workers to join their teams.

Tens of thousands of jobs are on offer, including plenty here in Greater Manchester.

Aldi is looking to hire 3,500 store colleagues in the run-up to Christmas, and there’s a wide range of permanent positions available too, alongside temporary ones.

With roles on offer including Store Assistants, managerial positions, and cleaners, Aldi is seeking team members to help replenish stock, assist customers, and maintain its already-high standards of service during the festive period and beyond.

Over at Morrisons, up to 3,000 extra colleagues are wanted work in its stores, food manufacturing sites, and logistics operations nationwide to help meet increased demand over the busy festive period – with a wide range of roles on offer, including customer assistants, home delivery drivers, and manufacturing and warehouse operatives.

No prior experience is necessary for most roles at Morrisons, and lots of the jobs have flexible working patterns too.

Finally at M&S, more than 11,000 roles need to be filled, with both Customer Assistant and Christmas colleague positions now open to apply for, who all play an integral role in delivering the festive service shoppers come to expect from the retailer.

New colleagues will join M&S from mid November, with a range of different start dates, and flexible working patterns available to choose from.

Aldi, Morrisons, and M&S all follow in the footsteps of Sainsbury’s, which also launched a nationwide recruitment drive last week and is looking for a whopping 20,000 temporary staff across the UK to help out this Christmas.
