We’ve had lots of incredible success with our Area Manager Programme. In fact, we’re No.5 in the Times Top 100 ‘Best Graduate Employers’, and many of our Directors (even our CEO) started out as Area Managers. To top it off, it’s not only for recent graduates. It’s also an amazing opportunity to change your career. You can certainly expect hard work, but you’ll also experience all of the support, development and training to succeed. Once you get the keys to your own area, it will feel like you’re running your own €multi-million business. Amazing.
"The store training is the best foundation for this role. Because you get to see how challenging the work is, you can empathise with the store staff while gaining a vast amount of knowledge. The level of responsibility exceeded my expectations, especially when you're responsible for running a store on your own. Its challenging, rewarding work and you never know what the day will bring".
"An ability to lead and work well with people is essential for the Area Manager role, and a willingness to learn and work hard is key for success.
The support you get in Aldi is fantastic. When things get challenging, Area Managers support each other and are always willing to help out".
"I was hugely impressed by how well structured the programme was, and I was also taken aback by the positive culture within the company. I received sufficient help from two friendly and experienced teams while in-store, and had workbooks and an online interface to support my learning. I was also given a mentor who was more than happy to answer any questions I had".
