Just as every home is unique, Kingfisher champions the fact that every person is different. Its inclusive and flexible approach, and focus on wellbeing, enables people to feel comfortable being themselves, like they do at home, helping you bring your best self to work.

There are lots of different roles on offer within the organisation, but whichever path you choose to take, you’ll be part of a global team that’s dedicated to making home improvements accessible to everyone.

This dedication is reflected in Kingfisher’s values:

• Excellence: We strive for excellence and embrace change. We’re good at adjusting our approach to different situations. We always think what’s possible.

Make someone's day, every day

Kingfisher is also a place where you can keep learning, improving and growing, where you work with people you respect – and who respect you – and you get the chance to make someone’s day, every day.

A snapshot of testimonials from Kingfisher colleagues helps to build a picture of what working at Kingfisher is like:
