Carpetright

Company Overview

We’re all about making a difference; transforming floors. Our aim is to deliver excellent customer service by making it easy for our customers to transform their homes.

Our commitment to our customers and our colleagues is central to everything we do. We employ over 2,000 people across our organisation, who work hard to deliver excellent customer service and to make it easier for customers to transform their homes. Our ranges of carpets, laminate flooring, vinyl flooring, luxury vinyl tiles and wood flooring are constantly expanding in line with customers’ needs.

Why work with us

Everything you want from a retail career and more can be found with us.

We’re interested in you. Not just what you can bring to us now but what we can help you achieve in the future. Fast forward to being best in the business. We have roles where no experience is necessary; we take your natural curiosity and bubbly personality and with our induction training transform you into an expert team member.   If you are already an expert in something like marketing, buying or IT, we have development opportunities that will help you stretch even further. Simply put, we want everyone to reach their full potential and one of the things that our colleagues like the most about working at Carpetright is the opportunity to progress.

Our colleagues also value a sense of community, they like working with their teams (in most of our stores, the team sizes are actually quite small, so you get to know everyone really well), and they like what we achieve together. Alongside what we do everyday for our customers, our teams also take part in activities to support our charity partner, Mind.

Diversity

Retail is changing, and so are we. We want to reflect the communities we work in and are excited by diverse backgrounds and experiences. We think a wide variety should not be just for our choices of carpets!

From flexible working hours to job sharing, we want to ensure we continue to create an agile workforce. We already have many of our employees on flexible working patterns, with options such as part time working, or working at the weekend and having 2 days off during the week (if full time work is important to you). We’ve recently introduced a new Customer Advisor role that covers our key times of trading and works well for people seeking flexibility for other commitments like the school run or other caring responsibilities.

We care about being a supportive place to work and we’re proud that all our colleagues earn at least National Living Wage, regardless of their age. We’re also out performing the retail sector when it comes to the gender pay gap.  We’re not resting on our laurels though; it remains high on our agenda to keep closing the gap.

There are oodles of opportunities to succeed and thrive at Carpetright; whether you’re a store colleague, a manager, a buyer, or part of the marketing team, there’s always a new idea just waiting to be developed by a talented member of staff. It’s the people that make Carpetright and everyone’s welcome here!
