Domino's Pizza has said it is creating 6,000 new roles as it continues to benefit from the Covid-19 pandemic and households turn to its deliveries in droves.

The firm is creating 5,000 new jobs and also 1,000 apprenticeship positions under the Government's new Kickstart scheme, with "ambitious individuals" given the opportunity to apply for permanent roles following a six-month placement.

The new positions will include pizza chefs, customer service workers and delivery drivers, and are on top of the 6,000 jobs Domino's said it has created since the start of the pandemic.

Chief executive Dominic Paul said: "It was a privilege to keep our stores open during Covid-19 and to now be in a position to offer thousands more people the opportunity to become a Domino's team member.

"We're also delighted to have applied to support the Government's Kickstart scheme, offering young people the chance to get back into work and to build lifelong skills through our training programmes."

"Together, these over 6,000 new roles will help Domino's continue to safely serve our local communities as we head towards the busy festive period."

He added that the apprentices will have access to e-learning modules on "employability skills", including timekeeping and teamwork, and will earn "in line with current store pay levels".

The company is hoping to maintain its high levels of riders and cooks going into store management, with 80% of store managers having started their Domino's career in entry-level positions.
