Job description

About us:
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.

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, with over 200 stores, 6 central warehouses and 12 delivery centres nationwide.

You'll join our expert team who deliver 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.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our delivery service team at Dreams. As a Delivery Driver Assistant, you'll play a key role in serving our customers, ensuring their perfect bed is delivered without a hitch.

  • Experience: It would be super handy if you had some knowledge of home delivery services.
  • Team player: Every dreamer plays a role in making each day enjoyable, so you'll have a positive work ethic and thrive as a part of a team.
  • Resilient: We know things don't always go to plan, so remaining calm under pressure is important.
  • Communicator: Using your excellent communications skills, you'll be able to build rapport and establish great relationships with customers and colleagues.
  • Willing to learn: To begin with, your ability to follow instructions will be important. As part of your induction, we'll train you to be a top-notch assembler, so being open and willing to learn will be a big help.
