About us:

Oliver Bonas is an independent British lifestyle store, developing our own take on fashion and homeware. We sell online internationally and from 90+ stores across the UK and the Republic of Ireland, operating as an omnichannel business across multiple platforms.

As our products have evolved, we have become an authority on design, and we remain inspired by fresh thinking. Our mission is the one thing that’s remained constant throughout: to do our bit to make living a joyful experience and give cause for optimism.

What it’s like to work here
‍

Our values of Work Hard, Play Hard & Be Kind are integral to every role at OB. Working here is about more than just a job; it’s somewhere to build a career you can be passionate about. Collaboration, imagination, curiosity and teamwork are our strengths, and we like to create a space in which people can feel comfortable enough to be their best selves.

A playful and optimistic approach creates a motivating environment, and while we don’t take ourselves too seriously, we are serious about what we do. We are always asking questions and striving to do things better. We believe that success comes from standing out, not fitting in, and we value original thinking.

Our team knows their stuff. They’re confident and creative and unafraid to challenge convention to find solutions, taking accountability for their actions, but always with kindness and humility. If this sounds like a culture and environment that you would thrive in, we’d love to meet you.

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

At Oliver Bonas, our promise is central to our work in equity, diversity and inclusion. To bring joy to others, we must first ensure everyone at OB feels valued, included, and can be themselves at work.

EQUITY VS. EQUALITY

Why equity is important

The ‘E’ in our EDI work (formerly equality) now stands for equity. These two words look and sound very similar, however, the implementation of one against the other can lead to a dramatically different outcome for all.

Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities to reach an equal outcome. Equity recognises that each person has different circumstances and allocates whatever resources and opportunities each individual needs, personal to them, to reach an equal outcome.

Our equitable approach is illustrated most notably through our transparency statement, but it goes beyond that – from positive action and reasonable adjustment at recruitment stage to ensuring that all our team members are setup for success at every stage of their time with us. Our transparency statement comes from having reflected on where we need further representation and how important it is that we stay engaged with this crucial conversation.
