From Estimators and Warehouse Staff, Store Management to Regional Sales Managers, we are always looking for team players who have a real passion for retail. To join us, you’ll need to be friendly, enthusiastic and passionate about exceeding our customers’ expectations.

Have a look at the roles below to see how everything works and where you might fit in…

Warehouse Staff

Responsible for the stock, deliveries and goods out, the warehouse is your area of responsibility. You’ll be liaising with drivers, carpet fitters and customers, so you’ll enjoy working with people, as well as working on your own. You’ll also be responsible for the organisation, security and cleanliness of the warehouse, and using a boom truck, will keep the stock tidy and in good repair.

Estimators

The role of an estimator means that, as well as estimating and selling in store, you’ll be travelling to customers’ homes to measure their rooms, giving advice on the type of flooring they may need and providing them with an estimate of the cost. You’ll need to be mobile and confident with customers, as well as having a good grasp of arithmetic and an understanding of the basics of laying out and cutting carpets. Using your excellent interpersonal skills, with each sale made you’ll be rewarded with generous commission.

Sales Consultants

Sales consultants are always on the move – making sure our customers get the best service we can deliver, liaising with colleagues and helping out in the warehouse when goods arrive at the store. You’ll be sharing your product knowledge and advice with our customers to ensure that they buy the product that is right for their needs. In addition, you’ll also take responsibility for the cleanliness and presentation of the store – making sure that our customers shop in a bright, clean environment. If you have an outgoing personality, lots of patience and enjoy talking with customers then this could be the job for you. In addition, you’ll also earn generous commission on each sale that you make.

Assistant Manager

In addition to helping our customers and ensuring your customer service is second to none, your role is to support and deputise for the Store Manager to ensure the efficient running of the store. You’ll be helping out with the day to day management of the store, as well as motivating and coaching the team to deliver store targets and customer service standards. This is a role that will help you hone your man management skills and could prepare you for the next step in your career – Store Manager.

Store Manager

Every customer who walks through our doors is a potential sale and your role as Store Manager is to lead and motivate your team to turn that opportunity into a reality. You’ll know how to balance the needs of the customer with the needs of the business and maximising sales and beating targets is second nature to you. Using your man management skills, you’ll coach and develop your team to deliver or exceed store targets by inspiring them with your passion for high store standards, your commercial awareness and your ability to achieve strategic business objectives.

Regional Sales Manager

Developing our business is all about developing our people and you’ll have the ability to spot and develop potential wherever you see it. With responsibility for up to 25 stores, you’ll communicate key business objectives and coach our Store Managers to achieve or exceed their sales targets. Recruiting and motivating your store Management teams, you’ll advise and work with them to ensure they achieve strategic business objectives, as well as offering our customers a first class service.

Divisional Controller

Responsible for the performance of around 100 shops, you’ll analyse the sales performance for each area within a designated region and develop strategic objectives to ensure that stores are maximizing their sales and delivering our Company objectives – to delight our customers and to exceed their expectations. You’ll inspire and coach a team of Regional Sales Managers to achieve more, reach higher and truly deliver. Using your commercial awareness, you’ll develop and implement plans in conjunction with the UK Managing Director to continue to grow our business and to ensure that Carpetright remains the No. 1 carpet and flooring retailer in the UK.
