Your local store is looking for 16hrs per week Sales Assistant - Made to Measure Advisor.
Every visit to our store is a chance to make someone’s day - and you’ll be right there to make sure it happens, from the first hello to the final thank you.
Our Sales Assistants are the foundation of our stores - a brilliant team at the heart of everything we do. With a focus on creating great experiences, they’re the first to lend a helping hand, always ready to offer support and guidance. Whether it’s finding the perfect item or offering a little inspiration, they make sure every customer leaves with exactly what they came for, and a lasting impression that brings them back time and time again.
As a ‘made to measure’ specialist, you’ll become a curtain, blind and shutter expert. With an eye for beautiful fabrics and a knack for understanding what inspires our customers, you’ll guide them through the process from start to finish. From offering styling advice to taking precise measurements and planning our fitters’ routes, you’ll make sure everything runs smoothly - and looks amazing.
You’ll love chatting with customers, spotting opportunities to upsell, and leaving people feeling confident they chose Dunelm for their home project. Because for us, it’s not just about the product. It’s about the experience.
Whilst your focus is on made to measure, you’ll trained in all aspects of customer-facing store life, such as:
We’re not after a carbon copy of anyone else. We want people who bring something new to the table - different perspectives, fresh ideas, and a shared love of making our stores feel like home.
We want our colleagues to feel at home wherever they work, so that they are comfortable and can be their best selves. In addition, we want everyone to feel connected to the business, our strategy and the teams they work with.Where hybrid working is applicable, colleagues need to strike the right balance to fulfil both of these important factors. You will find the right mix of being at home, in the office & out in the business, bearing in mind business needs, job role and level of responsibility.
From our Wellbeing Buddies and Mental Health First Aid training to our progressive parental leave, menopause policies and Colleague Support Fund, we're committed to supporting our colleagues in every area – and at every stage – of their lives. Through our partnership with the Retail Trust, everyone at Dunelm has free access to a 24/7 Virtual GP, as well as therapy and counselling, plus information, guidance and advice in all areas of financial, emotional and physical wellbeing.
Meet Amanda, our Chief Stores and People Director, who shares how she feels empowered to take opportunities every day, why Dunelm is her happy place, and why it’s a really exciting time to join us.
