Junior Graphic Designer High Wycombe, England
Job description
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 250 of us at our affectionally named 'Bedquarters' in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, 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! From a payday treats trolley to 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.
