Sainsbury’s to create 20,000 new jobs

Justin King, Sainsbury’s chief executive, said: “These new jobs will provide a huge boost to communities across the UK, and as they are a mixture of full and part time positions, there will be an opportunity suitable for everyone.

“We recognise the importance of doing more than simply creating jobs, and this is why we’re committed to providing our colleagues with an unrivalled range of training and development opportunities, such as our award-winning apprenticeship programme and industry leading scheme for graduates.”

The 20,000 new jobs are in addition to the 13,000 jobs Sainsbury’s has created in the last two years.
