At Dreams, we know your bed is the best place in the whole world. But for the hours between precious sleep, we`d like to make work a special place to be too. We`re the UK`s most loved bed retailer, so it`s important our people feel the love as well. There`s over 200 of us at our Bed Factory, in Oldbury Birmingham where every dreamer makes a difference.
We`re super passionate about our people-first culture, which means we like to keep things simple and celebrate every success, big or small! charity fundraisers and all-staff lunches, we know we do it best when we do it together.
And together we`ve been making bedtimes better since 1985, with no signs of hitting the snooze button. We`re owned by the world`s largest bedding provider, Tempur Sealy, and have our very own Bed Factory right here in the UK. You`ll even get a guided tour when you join - that`s part of our mission to get you fully bed-ucated during your induction.
With 208 stores nationwide, 6 central warehouses and 12 delivery centres, we sell 14,000 mattresses, bases and headboards every single week. Now that`s a lot of Zzzs.
So if you`re bonkers about bed, silly for siestas and keen on your kip, we think Dreams could be the perfect place for you.
Dreams. Love your job.
