Lidl is to recruit 1,000 staff as it looks to build on recent rapid sales growth.
The company, which said it was the "fastest-growing, highest-paying supermarket in the UK", is looking to fill roles including customer assistants, cleaners and warehouse operatives. A Lidl spokeswoman said recruits will have the "highest starting pay in the industry", following a wage increase at the start of October and a premium rise for night and freezer staff.
Warehouse staff will start on £10.90 an hour. The spokeswoman said all of the jobs will include full and part-time positions, all of which will be permanent, adding that candidates could be offered jobs the same day as the Runcorn recruitment event.
