The IKEA vision is to create a better everyday life for the many people. Our business idea is to offer well-designed, functional and affordable, high-quality home furnishing, produced with care for people and the environment. The IKEA Brand unites more than 200.000 co-workers and hundreds of companies with different owners all over the world. It’s one brand, but it reaches millions of hearts and homes. Our value chain is unique. It includes everything from product development, design, supply, manufacture and sales – and of course it begins and ends with our customers. The IKEA retail business is operated through a franchise system. Today, 12 different groups of companies market and sell the IKEA product range under franchise agreements with Inter IKEA Systems B.V. Any jobs published on this page are offered by different companies operating under the IKEA Trademark. IKEA was founded in Sweden in 1943.

“The Partnership’s ultimate purpose is the happiness​ of all its members, through their ​worthwhile and satisfying employment​ in a ​successful​ business. Because the Partnership is owned in Trust for its members, they share the ​responsibilities​ of ownership as well as its ​rewards​ - ​profit, knowledge and power.” We’re the John Lewis Partnership, a continuing experiment to create a better way of doing business. We’re driven by the extraordinary vision and values of our founder, John Spedan Lewis, who created our model of co-ownership almost 100 years ago. He believed businesses would be more successful if employees were at the centre of everything they did. And because of his vision, we’re more than employees. We’re owners. And that’s why we’re called Partners. The Partnership is the UK’s largest employee-owned business and home to our two cherished retail brands - John Lewis & Partners and Waitrose & Partners. Everything we do is powered by our unique purpose, which puts the happiness of Partners at our core through worthwhile and satisfying employment. Every one of us is committed to inspiring and delighting our ​customers​ through quality products, great quality food and outstanding service because for us, it's personal.

TK Maxx is an exciting place to work with a rapid pace, different challenges every day, and a unique culture of teamwork and collaboration. We are part of The TJX Companies, Inc., the world's leading off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions. In Europe, our brands are TK Maxx and Homesense, while elsewhere in the world TJX operates Marshalls, Winners, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Sierra and TK Maxx Australia. TJX introduced its unique off-price business model to the UK and Ireland in 1994. The concept turns conventional fashion and home interiors retailing on its head. Our buyers are constantly visiting and building relationships with suppliers all over the world. They have the freedom to buy any products they believe are right for our customers. As a result, every day is different, whether you work in Head Office, in Distribution or on the shop floor. The off-price business model has been very successful for us and we’re growing all the time. Currently, we have over 670 TK Maxx stores in Europe, offering women’s and men’s fashion from high quality, contemporary and designer brands, all at up to 60% less than the recommended retail price. We have big plans to open more stores in the next few years – and that’s alongside our TK Maxx e-commerce website. Our way of operating means our people all have to be true collaborators and team players, thinking quickly, adapting to every situation and thriving on change. If you work for us, whatever job you do, every day is different, unexpected and exciting.
