The job:

Working as part of our Retail team in Braintree for 20 hours a week, you will be a vital part of the store`s success. We want every store visit to be exceptional for our customers, so you`ll work closely with members of the public to understand their needs and advise them on high-value purchases.

Here`s a taste of what you`ll be doing day-to-day:

• Making our customers feel at home through exceptional service. At Dreams, this means listening to customer`s needs and guiding them, asking the right questions at the right time to find the perfect fit.
• Being on hand every step of the way whilst customers browse in store, from greeting at the door to getting to know them and their sleep preferences.
• Becoming a Sleepmatch Master, using our market-leading sleep technology to help customers choose the right mattress just for them.
• Helping to make the store look its absolute best, from general housekeeping and cleaning to updating displays.

The Person:

This is the type of person we`re dreaming of:

• People-first: You will have an engaging and positive personality, plus a natural ability to bond with customers.
• Communicator: Using your excellent communications skills, you`ll be able to build rapport and establish great relationships with customers and colleagues.
• Motivated: Whilst no previous sales experience is necessary, you will need to have the determination and motivation to work towards KPIs and sales targets.
• Team player: Every dreamer plays a role in making our stores an enjoyable place to work, where each member of the team feels included and respected.
• Willing to learn: A great night`s sleep is personal, so natural curiosity and willingness to learn will make you an excellent Bed Expert.
• Flexible: You`ll need to be able to commit to working 20 hours per week. Our stores are awake 7 days a week, so this role will involve working weekends and bank holidays.

About Dreams:

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, and sell 14,000 mattresses, bases and headboards every single week.

• Wellbeing that works: It’s not something we sweep under the bed – it’s central to how we look after each other.
• Perks you can pick: Life looks different for everyone, so we give you options.
