"The IKEA business idea is to offer a wide range of home furnishings with good design and function at prices so low that as many people as possible will be able to afford them. And still have money left!" This is the simple yet concise philosphy of Ikea. They cater for many different tastes, styles, needs and aspirations, with the one continual theme - value. As a business Ikea make regular price comparisons to the rival organisations and businesses, challenging aggressively the over inflated prices that competitiors charge.
This ethos is represented in the people they employee. Ikea look for innovative, dynamic and diverse managers that are looking to develop the business along with their own individual and creative management
style. You aspire to work for a retailer that will truly invest in you.
Based in the Gateshead Store for the initial training period, you will then be fully mobile across the UK. Ikea have an expansive development plan in place over the next 5 years, and they are looking for strong managers that can role out the company brand into new and exisitng stores across the UK. If you are flexible world wide as well, many more options will open to your already developing career.
Although the roles they are looking to recruit for are diverse, the ability and tenacity of the individual is apparent in all Ikea Managers. Full mobility across the UK is essential. If you feel the attached jobs are not right for you, but Ikea is an organisation that you aspire to work for, please contact the Ikea Recruitment team at Michael Page for a confidential and impartial conversation, about where your career could develop within Ikea.
