Iceland is inviting those at risk of redundancy at Sainsbury’s and Morrisons to apply for one of the 600 roles its currently hiring for.
The frozen food specialist has a mixture of full- and part-time positions available, spanning retail staff, home delivery drivers, and management roles at the company’s Head Office in Deeside, North Wales.
It comes as Sainsbury’s revealed yesterday (23 January) that it was slashing 3,000 jobs as part of a drive to simplify its business and address rising costs.
The supermarket giant is closing its remaining cafés, hot food counters, patisserie, and pizza counters, and reduce senior management roles by an estimated 20%.

An Iceland spokesperson said: “While many in the retail sector are facing tough decisions, we’re proud to be creating opportunities and expanding our team as we grow across the UK.
“These roles reflect our ongoing commitment to investing in our business, our people, and doing the right thing by all those who make Iceland what it is today. We invite experienced retail staff and talented managers to come and join our team.”
