About Us

Cosy is a leading international supplier and developer of educational resources for schools and nurseries. We're not your average company—we're proudly unique. Our innovative and sustainable product range helps children learn through play, while our low-carbon supply chain supports the planet. We source natural and upcycled materials and deliver thousands of high-quality, value-for-money products to tens of thousands of customers every year.

We’re also proud to be double King’s Award winners, recognised for both Sustainability and International Trade - a testament to our commitment to responsible business and global impact.

Cosy gives back too. We donate 10% of our profits annually to the Cosy Foundation, supporting charities and projects that impact thousands of children’s lives each year.

Founded in 2011, Cosy has rapidly evolved into a leading global brand. We’re in a period of significant growth, and we’ve built a dynamic, passionate team. We are working hard to make Cosy one of the very best places to work in the UK.

What You’ll Be Up To

• Bring Ideas to Life: Help plan and launch exciting campaigns across digital and print.
• Create the Buzz: Coordinate with our team and suppliers to craft stunning marketing materials.
• Connect the Dots: Manage our email marketing to keep our community engaged and inspired.
• Keep Us Organised: Maintain our digital assets and databases (because a tidy team is a happy team!).
• Be the Glue: Jump in on administrative tasks to keep the department running like a well-oiled machine.

Is This You?

• Creative Soul: You have a genuine love for marketing and creativity.
• People Person: You’re a great communicator who loves working with a team.
• Detail Detective: Nothing gets past you! You’re organised and can juggle tasks with a smile.
• Go-Getter: You have a positive "can-do" attitude and you’re hungry to learn.
• The Cherry on Top: A marketing qualification or some experience is great, but passion counts for a lot!

The Good Stuff (Perks!) We believe that happy employees change the world. Here’s how we look after you:

• Celebrate You: Take your Birthday off, completely paid!
• Give Back: Paid volunteering days for causes close to your heart.
• Level Up: Training and development tailored specifically to your dreams.
• Green Commute: Free on-site parking with EV charging.
• Stay Well: Full support via our Employee Assistance Programme.
• Have Fun: Regular social events to let your hair down with the team.
• Furry friends: Well behaved fur friends that go woof may accompany you in our Cosy office.
• Serious Relaxation: We take holidays very seriously. You can buy a week's extra annual leave if you need more sun! Plus, loyalty pays off—once you reach 2 years, you accrue 1 extra day per year (up to 30 days total).

Our Commitment to Inclusion

• We hire based on talent, potential, and attitude. We believe every voice deserves to be heard and every individual deserves a fresh start and a fair chance.
• Age Friendly Employer: We welcome candidates of all ages and career stages. Experience comes in many forms, and we value the diverse perspectives that different generations bring to our team.
• Ex-Offender Friendly: We are proud to be an ex-offender friendly employer. We assess every candidate on their skills and capability for the role, providing fair chances to individuals looking to rebuild their lives and careers.
