HomeSense

Homesense 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 TJX, the leading off-price retailer of fashion and homeware worldwide. The other TJX brand in Europe is TK Maxx, while elsewhere in the world there are Marshalls, Winners, TJ Maxx, Home Goods, Sierra Trading Post and Trade Secret. Currently, we have over 40 Homesense stores in the UK and Ireland, offering contemporary branded and high quality homeware from across the globe, all at up to 60% less than the recommended retail price. We have big plans to open more stores in the next few years. Our collaborative culture At Homesense, we’re all about collaboration. The atmosphere is informal, open and friendly. We value flexibility and adaptability. And we emphasise the importance of building working relationships and helping colleagues succeed. When you first join, you get time to develop those crucial relationships. That way, you always have someone to ask for help. What’s it like? People who like working at TJX Europe really like it – in fact, many have been with us for years because of our collaborative culture and varied opportunities. It’s an exciting and unpredictable place to work, so being adaptable is key.

This is a place where you can be yourself and where nice people get on well. Your opportunities Join Homesense and everyone here will want you to succeed – although you will have to drive your own development. If you’d like to change to another part of the business, we’ll usually offer support and training to help. Likewise, there may even be opportunities to switch jobs to another part of the world.
