Everyone who works with us brings something different to Dunelm. And to our minds, that’s something to celebrate rather than something to accommodate. Wherever you work with us and in whatever role, you’ll find everyone supports and cares for each other. And that you’ll feel seen and valued for the unique contribution you bring.
At the heart of everything that’s happening at Dunelm, you’ll find our fast-growing Technology teams. Their agility and innovation enable us to move fast as a business, and those little sprinkles of magic transform every customer’s shopping experience.
All of our colleagues have the opportunity to be part of our four colleague networks. These are disability & Neurodiversity, LGBTQ+, Gender Equality and Ethnicity & Race. Each network has co-chairs and an exec sponsor who work closely with us to ensure that we are a workplace where everyone feels supported, celebrated, valued, and heard.

We’re serious about our role in society. Each of our stores is partnered with a local charity and has its own community Facebook page. We offer our Pausa Cafes for free to local community groups. We’re also proud partners of mental health charities, Mind (UK and Wales), SAMH (Scotland) and Inspire (Northern Ireland). Each year we’ll give you a day’s paid leave to support a charity that matters to you.
We’re keen to attract diverse candidates and we’ve tried to make our application proves as inclusive as we can. You’ll see it varies slightly depending on the role you apply for, but broadly speaking, follows the two steps.
