Lidl is hiring 1,000 workers and wages start from £10.90 an hour

LIDL is recruiting over 1,000 new hourly paid roles over the next five months to keep up with shopper demand.

The budget supermarket will pay new staff a minimum of £10.90 outside of London and £11.95 within the M25.

And both pay rates are more than the government's national minimum wage.

The national minimum wage currently stands at £9.59 an hour for those aged 23 and over. It's less for younger workers.

Customer assistant, cleaner and warehouse roles are all up for grabs.

The supermarket has also confirmed that all new roles will be permanent and include a combination of full-time and part-time positions.

The roles will also see pay increases up to £12 and £13 an hour with length of service.

Nan Gibson, Lidl's chief HR officer said: "As our customer base continues to grow, and as we open more new stores and warehouses, we need more people to join team Lidl.

"Not only will new colleagues be the highest paid in the industry as a result of our newly increased rates, they also be part of an amazing team of people that are working to help make good food accessible to all households, at a time that is so needed."
